These are the enchantments players look up most. Each page has the full numbers, the best combinations, version history, and Bedrock notes.
Hold the item in your main hand, then run /enchant with the namespaced ID and a level:
The enchantment ID for Sharpness is minecraft:sharpness. It goes up to level V and applies to weapons. Run /enchant @p minecraft:sharpness 5 while holding a sword or axe to apply it.
There are 43 enchantments registered in Java Edition 1.21.x, including the three added in that release: Density, Breach, and Wind Burst for the mace.
Only on Java Edition 1.12.2 and earlier, where commands accepted numerical IDs such as 16 for Sharpness. Since 1.13 you must use the namespaced form minecraft:sharpness. The legacy column on this page shows reviewed 1.12.2 values only.
Treasure enchantments never appear on the enchanting table: Mending, Frost Walker, Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, Wind Burst, and the two curses (Binding and Vanishing). They are marked with a treasure tag in the list and come from loot chests, fishing, villager trades, or special structures like ancient cities and trial chambers.
In survival you cannot — the max level column is the survival cap. Commands ignore it: /enchant supports higher levels on some setups, and a /give command with NBT or components can apply any level, such as the famous knockback 255 stick.
