Use

Players can use enchanted books to upgrade their most useful tools, weapons, and armor.

When a tool, weapon or armor is combined with an enchanted book on an anvil, (see above) players will be able to spend a portion of their experience levels to enchant that item.

This is extremely useful as players may not want the random enchantment chosen at the enchantment table. Instead, players can either search for enchanted books in the locations listed above, or enchant a bunch of normal books until they get the enchantment they want.

Players can also combine multiple books on an anvil (see above) to combine the two enchantments into one book. Two books of the same type and level can also be combined, which will add both levels. Players who accumulate enchanted books of the same type can thus gain space.
