Enchanting Table

The enchanting table is the primary method for enchanting a Netherite Pickaxe in survival mode. Best for applying random enchantments using lapis lazuli and experience levels. Place bookshelves around the table (up to 15) to unlock higher-level enchantments. The enchantments offered are random but influenced by the item type and enchantment level chosen.

Anvil

An anvil allows you to combine enchanted books with your Netherite Pickaxe or merge two enchanted items together. Best for precise control over which enchantments to apply and combining multiple enchantments on your Netherite Pickaxe. Requires experience levels and becomes more expensive with each use due to the prior work penalty. Essential for creating highly enchanted items.

Enchanted books can be found in loot chests, obtained through fishing, or traded from librarian villagers. Best source for specific enchantments you need for your Netherite Pickaxe, especially rare ones like Mending. Use an anvil to apply the book's enchantment to your Netherite Pickaxe. Trading with librarians is the most reliable way to get the exact enchantments you want.

Minecraft Netherite pickaxe enchantments with command

The /give command allows you to instantly give a Netherite Pickaxe with specific enchantments to yourself or other players. Best used when you need precise control over enchantment levels, want to bypass survival limitations, or need to create a Netherite Pickaxe that would be impossible through normal gameplay. Ideal for creative mode, map making, and testing specific enchantment combinations.

The /enchant command applies a single enchantment to the Netherite Pickaxe held in a player's main hand. Best used for quick, single-enchantment additions in survival or creative mode. Unlike /give, it only works on a Netherite Pickaxe already in the player's inventory and can only add one enchantment at a time, making it ideal for simple enchanting tasks or when you want to maintain the item's existing properties.
