Enchanting Infuser: Choosing Your Enchantments

guide

Enchanting Infuser replaces random enchanting with a table where you pick exactly which enchantments to apply. This guide covers both tiers.

The basic infuser

The Enchanting Infuser is a new enchanting table for straightforward, deliberate enchanting: instead of gambling on the vanilla table's random outcomes, you choose the enchantments you want and apply them. Just like a vanilla table, surrounding Bookshelves unlock stronger enchantments as your setup grows, so a full bookshelf ring still matters.

The advanced infuser

Upgrade to the Advanced Enchanting Infuser — crafted from a Book, two Netherite Ingot, three Crying Obsidian and a basic infuser — for extra power. It can modify existing enchantments, repair items using experience levels, and recover experience from unwanted enchantments, making it a full enchantment workstation rather than just an applicator.

Using it

Set up an infuser with bookshelves as you would a vanilla table, then pick the enchantments you actually want. Costs, enchantment availability, treasure enchantments and repairs are all configurable, so you can tune the mod to be as generous or as demanding as you like. Enchanting Infuser is a quality-of-life fix for anyone tired of rerolling the vanilla table.

The two recipes in full

The mod adds exactly two craftable blocks, and the second is built from the first:

Note what that means for cost. The basic infuser consumes a working enchanting table, so you are converting one block rather than adding one, and the advanced version then consumes the basic infuser. Nothing is duplicated along the way — it is a single upgrade line, and you end with one block, not three.

Crying obsidian is the real gate

Four crying obsidian per craft, eight across both steps, is the ingredient most players are short of. It comes from piglin bartering or from ruined portals, so a Nether trip is effectively a prerequisite for the basic infuser and a second one for the advanced.

Amethyst, by contrast, is renewable from any geode, and the enchanting table you already have.

Why replace a table at all

The point of the infuser is choice. A vanilla enchanting table offers three random options and hides part of what you are getting; the infuser is built around picking the enchantment you actually want. The advanced version extends that further, which is what the netherite is paying for.

Because the upgrade consumes the block below it, there is no reason to build a basic infuser and keep it once you can afford the advanced one — the recipe expects you to feed it in.
