How to enchant in minecraft 1.0.0

Put down the bookshelf blocks. Bookshelves raise probability of getting high enchantments. The pictures show the best placement for the blocks (The blocks on the corners are unnecessary, however). Place them down with these tips in mind:

• Bookshelves that are less than two blocks away seem to be affect enchantment tables.
• You cannot place blocks inside the structure.
• Placing bookshelf blocks under the enchanting table will not work
• Nor does placing them more than two blocks higher than the table.

Make a staircase that leads to the middle. This way, you don't have to break bookshelves to get inside.

Place the enchanting table in center.

Use the table. Right click on it to open the table. The encrypted words mean various descriptions of the enchantment. Use the Minecraft Wiki for translating the words.
