How to craft an Enchanting Table in Survival Mode
1. Open the Crafting Menu
First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make an Enchanting Table
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make an enchanting table, place 1 book, 2 diamonds, and 4 obsidian in the 3x3 crafting grid.
When making an enchanting table, it is important that the book, diamonds, and obsidian are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 book in the middle box. In the second row, there should be 1 diamond in the first box, 1 obsidian in the second box, and 1 diamond in the third box. In the third row, there should be 3 obsidian. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for an enchanting table.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the enchanting table will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Enchanting Table to Inventory
Once you have crafted an enchanting table, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
