To achieve the highest level of enchantments (level 30) on an enchantment table in Minecraft, you need 15 bookshelves arranged properly around the table. The correct setup is:
- Place the enchantment table in the center of a 5x5 area.
- Arrange 15 bookshelves in a square or U-shape around the table, leaving exactly one block of air between the table and the bookshelves.
- The bookshelves must be placed at the same height or one block higher than the enchantment table.
- Corners can be included, but there should be no blocks between the bookshelves and the table.
- This setup allows the enchantment table to reach the maximum enchantment level of 30.
Although you can place more than 15 bookshelves (up to 24 or even 32 in some configurations), only 15 bookshelves contribute to the maximum enchantment level, so adding more does not increase the enchantment level beyond 30
. In summary, you need 15 bookshelves placed one block away around the enchantment table to unlock the highest level enchantments.
