This farming method does not need much of investment, all you need is a silk diamond sword (Unbreaking III enchant is optional) and a decent farm. This farming method does not require good internet since you only have to slowly break blocks so chance of encountering a ghost block is practically reduced to zero percent. Since there is a proper efficient tool for farming melons but that is for only the rich of the riches who owns a Melon Sword, why not make a alternative cheaper tool to farm melons? Of course, with the cost of lower efficiency in general.Īnyone hardly farm melons without Melon Sword, just a Silk Touch enchantment would do, this Sword with Silk Touch would offer high income per crop but slow harvest speed while comparing to the known Pumpkin Axe, which offers high harvest speed but low income per crop or comparing to the Melon Sword, both high income per crop and high harvest speed. Still, enchantments like Power V and Smite V appear to be unobtainable using a book on the table.'Silk Touch' enchantment on Sword Reason: edit: I did some testing and overall I concluded that using 15 bookshelves gave me better and more useful enchantments than using 32. However, since the enchantment table is capped, using 32 bookshelves yields the same results as using 15 bookshelves. So a total of 32 bookshelves can be put around an enchanting table. You can put a bookshelf on every block that's 2 blocks away (including corners) of the enchanting table and on the block 1 level higher above it. Every bookshelf contributes 2 levels per bookshelf to the enchanting table. Every enchantment has a required level in order to be shown/acquired in the enchanting table as shown in the list provided by op-Here, I'm not sure with the details as this list only applies to books, but what I am sure is that not every enchantment is available with only 15 bookshelves as most people think. The enchanting table is capped at 30 levels, there will never be the need to have more than 30 levels to use an enchanting table. I literally created this account just to clarify. I made this for my answer to a question on Arqade/Gaming Stack Exchange. Minimum number of levels and bookshelves required for Minecraft enchantments
