  • Place six bookshelves on the Enchantment table's right and left-hand sides while placing the remaining three in front of the table.
  • Now perform Enchantment on any weapon or item of your choice by placing it inside the Enchantment table along with Lapis Lazuli.
    • Remember, no items should be between the enchantment table and bookshelves. If you place any items, the enchantment table will act normally and not show the level 30 enchantments.
