How to Get Lure in Minecraft
• Enchanting Table
You can obtain Lure 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 Lure may appear as one of the offered enchantments. The outcome is random, so you may need multiple attempts.
• Loot Chests
Enchanted books containing Lure 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 Lure. Loot chest drops are random, so exploration is key.
• Villager Trading
Librarian villagers can offer enchanted books including Lure in exchange for emeralds. By resetting a librarian's trades (breaking and replacing their lectern), you can cycle through available enchantments until Lure appears. This is one of the most reliable ways to target a specific enchantment in survival mode.
How to Apply Lure
• Enchanting Table
Place your item and lapis lazuli in the enchanting table to apply Lure directly. The enchantment is randomly selected, so results may vary.
• Anvil
Use an anvil to combine an enchanted book containing Lure with your item. This gives you precise control over which enchantment is applied.
How to Apply Lure with a Command in Minecraft
The /enchant command applies Lure 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.
