How to Get Aqua Affinity in Minecraft
• Enchanting Table
You can obtain Aqua Affinity by using an enchanting table. Surround it with up to 15 bookshelves to unlock higher enchantment levels. Place your item and lapis lazuli in the table, and Aqua Affinity may appear as one of the offered enchantments. The outcome is random, so you may need multiple attempts.
• Loot Chests
Enchanted books containing Aqua Affinity can be found inside loot chests throughout the world — in dungeons, mineshafts, desert temples, jungle temples, and strongholds. Some chests may also contain items pre-enchanted with Aqua Affinity. Loot chest drops are random, so exploration is key.
• Villager Trading
Librarian villagers can offer enchanted books including Aqua Affinity in exchange for emeralds. By resetting a librarian's trades (breaking and replacing their lectern), you can cycle through available enchantments until Aqua Affinity appears. This is one of the most reliable ways to target a specific enchantment in survival mode.
How to Apply Aqua Affinity
• Enchanting Table
Place your item and lapis lazuli in the enchanting table to apply Aqua Affinity directly. The enchantment is randomly selected, so results may vary.
• Anvil
Use an anvil to combine an enchanted book containing Aqua Affinity with your item. This gives you precise control over which enchantment is applied.
How to Apply Aqua Affinity with a Command in Minecraft
The /enchant command applies Aqua Affinity directly to the item held in the player's main hand. Best used in creative mode or with cheats enabled. The item must already be in your inventory. This is the fastest way to add a specific enchantment without needing an enchanting table or anvil.
