To achieve the maximum enchantment level (level 30) on an enchanting table in Minecraft, you need 15 bookshelves placed around the table. Each bookshelf increases the enchantment level by 2, so 15 bookshelves provide the full boost to reach level 30 enchantments
. Key details about bookshelf placement:
- Bookshelves must be placed one block away from the enchanting table, with one block of air between the table and the bookshelves.
- They can be arranged in a 5×5 square around the table, leaving a gap for a door or access.
- Bookshelves can be stacked up to one block high; stacking higher does not increase enchantment levels.
- Placing more than 15 bookshelves will not increase enchantment levels beyond 30.
This setup ensures you can enchant items at the highest possible level, unlocking the best enchantments available in the game
