3. Enchant the Brush

To enchant the Brush, place the Brush in the first slot and an enchanted book in the second slot. In this tutorial, we will use an Unbreaking III book.

In the third slot, you will see the enchanted Brush. It will cost 3 experience levels to enchant the Brush with the Unbreaking III enchantment.
