Guides and tutorials
Build an enchanting station
Use up to fifteen properly placed, unblocked bookshelves to unlock the highest level of table offers. Keep the space between table and shelves clear, then bring lapis and enough levels for the offered enchantment.
Minecraft Wiki · Enchanting mechanicsChoose enchants by the job
A mining tool and a collection tool can have different goals. Choose Fortune for drops that benefit from it and Silk Touch when you need the block itself. Use separate tools if you need both jobs.
Measure farming efficiency over a full cycle
Time startup, production and emptying storage together. Log useful drops after overflow, then use the hub’s farm planner to compare time for your actual material target.
Plan a reliable Minecraft Nether portal link
Convert X and Z, choose a safe Y level, and troubleshoot a portal that links somewhere else.
Read guideFrequently asked questions
Can two portals share the same target?
Yes. Existing nearby portals can change the link. Check X, Y and Z and verify both directions in game.
