More Ways to Get It
Craft an Enchanting Table with four obsidian, two diamonds, and one book. Place it with bookshelves nearby when building an enchanting area.
Quick answer: The modern Java item ID is minecraft:enchanting_table. Craft it from obsidian, diamonds, and a book, then place it as the center of an enchanting area.
Prepare the ingredients in the right order
The main obstacle is usually obsidian, because collecting it needs a diamond or netherite pickaxe. Plan the pickaxe before spending diamonds elsewhere if an enchanting setup is your goal. The book is a separate requirement, so make sure you have the materials for both the table and the book.
Once crafted, the table is a utility block rather than a one-time consumable. Put it in a location where you can expand the setup with bookshelves and storage.
Use the table as part of a gear plan
Enchanting makes more sense when you know which item you want to improve: a pickaxe for mining, a sword for combat, or other equipment for a specific task. The related pages help you move from the table to those target items rather than enchanting at random.
For current Java commands, use the namespaced ID above. The command gives the table item; it does not automatically create an enchanted tool or configure a complete bookshelf layout.
