Enchanting Recipe Book

Learn a recipe for the new enchanting table.

The Enchanting Recipe Book replaces Enchanted Books in Vanilla Squareds progression. Each book stores one or more recipes for the new enchanting table.

Obtaining

Enchanting Recipe Books are generated anywhere an Enchanted Book would normally be offered as loot. The source decides which recipe can be stored in the book.

SourceExamples
Structure lootDungeons, Ancient Cities, Strongholds, Trial Chambers and other structure chests
FishingReplaces Enchanted Books from the treasure pool
Piglin barteringUses the Piglin recipe pool
Librarian tradesUses a recipe pool based on the villagers biome type

A single source does not contain every recipe. For example, Void Strike is found in End City treasure while Swirling is found in Trial Chamber vaults.

Usage

Hold the book and right-click to learn every unknown enchanting recipe stored inside it. Learned recipes are added to the recipe book inside the enchanting table.

The book is consumed when at least one recipe is learned. It is not consumed when all of its recipes are already known, and a message is shown above the hotbar instead. Players in Creative Mode keep the book after learning its recipes.

A book with no loaded vsq:enchanting recipe does nothing. Normal crafting recipes and recipes removed by a data pack cannot be learned with this item.

Read Enchanting for how to use a learned recipe.

Item properties

Enchanting Recipe Books always have an enchantment glint and stack up to 16. Books only stack when their stored recipe list is the same.
