Steps to Enchant the Diamond Pickaxe

1. Open the Enchanting Table

First, open your enchanting table so that you have the Enchant menu that looks like this:

2. Enchant the Diamond Pickaxe

In the Enchant menu, place the diamond pickaxe in the first box. Then place 3 lapis lazuli in the second box.

Once you have placed your diamond pickaxe and lapis lazuli in the two boxes, you will see the enchantment slots display up to 3 enchantment options. Each enchantment will display a number on the right which is the number of experience levels that you must have to unlock and view the enchantment (this is not the cost of applying the enchantment).

In this example, the first enchantment is unlocked if you have 7 experience levels, the second one is unlocked if you have 14 experience levels, and for the third enchantment you need 30 experience levels to unlock it.

The higher the experience points required to unlock the enchantment, the better the enchantment. If you don’t have enough levels, you can always earn more experience points by killing mobs or using the /xp command.

When you hover over the third enchantment, it says Silk Touch I and the cost of the enchantment is 3 lapis lazuli and 3 enchantment levels (ie: 3 levels on your experience bar). Silk Touch I is one of the 3 enchantments that you can select from the enchanting table.

Select the enchantment that you wish to apply to the diamond pickaxe.

Once you have selected an enchantment, your lapis lazuli and experience points will be spent and the diamond pickaxe will glow purple. You can hover over the enchanted diamond pickaxe to see its new powers.

The diamond pickaxe is now an enchanted diamond pickaxe and you can move it back into your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made an enchanted diamond pickaxe in Minecraft!

Attack Damage and Durability

Attack damage is the amount of damage the item will deal when attacking a mob.

Durability represents how long the item will last. For tools, weapons and transportation, durability is the number of useful actions before the item is destroyed. For armor items, durability is the number of hits (that can be blocked by armor) before the item is destroyed. So the higher the durability number, the longer the item will last.

The following table shows the attack damage and durability for each pickaxe in Minecraft:

Item	Name	Attack Damage	Durability
	Netherite Pickaxe	6	2031
	Diamond Pickaxe	5	1561
	Iron Pickaxe	4	250
	Stone Pickaxe	3	131
	Wooden Pickaxe	2	59
	Golden Pickaxe	2	32
