About

An Enchanted Book stores a magical enchantment that can be applied to another item at an anvil. Each book holds exactly one enchantment, you cannot stack multiple enchantments on a single book, and books themselves do not stack in inventory.

Admins use enchanted books to distribute powerful or rare enchantments across a server without relying on natural mob drops or fishing. Spawn them with their GFI code or the command shown in the reference table. The exact enchantment on the book is not determined by the item itself; it depends on the NBT data you apply when creating or modifying it.
