Quick Charge Enchantment
A quick charge considerably reduces the reloading speed of a crossbow in Minecraft. It is advantageous during PvP fights, where launching transient attacks against opponents is necessary.
While the usual reloading speed of a crossbow is 1.25 seconds, a quick charge enchantment can reduce it by a significant margin.
Moreover, the crossbow can be a great weapon against zombies. Crossbows can play a significant role in making traps successful. There are three available levels/variants of a quick charge in Minecraft. These are:
- Quick Charge I – reduces the reloading time to one second.
- Quick Charge II – reduces the reloading time to 0.75 seconds.
- Quick Charge III – reduces the reloading time to only 0.5 seconds.
Quick Charges I & II are easy to find in Minecraft. However, the Quick Charge III is difficult to obtain due to its uniqueness. I will explain how you can get all these variants in detail using:
- Enchanting Table
- Anvil
Enchanting Table
You can use this table to create Quick Charge I or any other enchantment. However, you will need an essential ingredient, along with the crossbow, to complete the task. That ingredient is Lapis Lazuli, an essential mineral used for multiple enchanting and decorative purposes in Minecraft.
Players can get this mineral by smelting the blocks of Lapiz Lazuli ore. Each block can release up to nine pieces of mineral when smelted in a furnace.
Here is my step-by-step guide to getting Quick Charge:
- Open the enchanting table. There will be two slots for placing the raw materials in there. Players can also see the available raw materials from the inventory box below the enchanting grid.
- Select and move your crossbow from the inventory into the first slot of the enchanting grid. Similarly, fill in the second slot with the Lapis Lazuli mineral. Your regular crossbow will be upgraded with the Quick Charge enchantment automatically.
- You can move the enchanted crossbow from the enchanting grid into your inventory to save it.
Anvil
You can craft an Anvil by combining three blocks of iron ore with four iron ingots on a crafting table.
The Anvil will also need some raw materials. The primary raw material here is the Enchanted book. Players can find these enchanted books in the following places:
- Trading With The Librarian: Once you have a few regular books and the required emeralds, you can easily trade them for an enchanted book.
- Loot Chests And Treasures: Desert temples and underwater shipwrecks have a high probability of spawning enchanted books in their chests. Moreover, buried treasures found around the beaches and sometimes on sea beds can also contain enchanted books.
- Fishing: I wouldn’t recommend this anyway but if no alternatives are available, you can resort to fishing to collect enchanted books.
After getting the enchanted books, follow my steps below:
- Open the Anvil.
- From your inventory, move the crossbow into the first empty slot of the Anvil. Now, move the enchanted book to the second slot.
- Depending on the enchantment cost of the enchanted book, the crossbow will be upgraded with either Quick Charge II or Quick Charge III.
- Move the enchanted crossbow into your inventory to save it permanently.
Enchanting a crossbow using Anvil
My Verdict
Using the Anvil and the Enchantment table is simply the straightforward solution to enchanting any item. Even though my above guide is for the Quick Charge, you can follow it to enchant any other item in the game.
As far as enchantments are concerned, I believe there are better and more useful enchantments in the game other than the Quick Charge. To know about the, I recommend reading:
