Enchanter
Enchant an item at an Enchanting Table
Overview
Enchanter is a task advancement in the Minecraft tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Enchant an item at an Enchanting Table." It branches directly off Diamonds!, so that earlier advancement is its prerequisite and must be earned first. The Minecraft tab covers the main story progression tree. Enchanter was added in Minecraft 1.12 and remains part of the current 1.21 advancement set.
It is rated Medium difficulty on this site: requires some preparation or specific resources. Part of normal gameplay progression. It uses the standard task frame, meaning it is a normal step in the tree rather than a goal or challenge milestone. One further advancement, Zombie Doctor, is gated behind it.
In tree terms, Enchanter sits sixth along its line: the full path from the Minecraft root reads Minecraft -> Stone Age -> Getting an Upgrade -> Acquire Hardware -> Isn't It Iron Pick -> Diamonds! -> Enchanter. That means 6 advancements must be completed before this one becomes available, and Enchanter is one of 14 total advancements in the Minecraft tab. It shares its parent, Diamonds!, with one sibling, Cover Me with Diamonds, which unlocks from the same point.
