#NOTE - THIS ONLY EFFECTS SURVIVAL# The anvil will not allow you to combine two enchanted books of the same enchantment in survival. In the previous snapshot, it was possible to combine enchanted books this way and get a higher level enchantment. (i.e. two sharpness IV books created 1 Sharpness V). See picture for more details. EDIT- This issue relates to MC-4578. Whether it is intended to be able to combine enchanted books or not, the issue described in |

Confirmed in 1.5 pre-release can only combine enchanted books of the same type and level in creative, but not survival. |

FYI: The bug is still present in the 1.4.6 release. |

in 1.4.6 it works, but only in creative mode. And no, it's not intentional. Because if it was, then what's the point in combining enchanted books in creative when you can simply access them from the creative menu. Also, you cannot get a higher level enchantment on a book than what's actually possible to get. |

I'd imagine this is intended... I remember reading somewhere (mojang.com or minecraftforum.net) about how you can enchant certain things in survival, but almost everything in creative or something like that... and this may be the fixed version so you cant get level 30 fortune or something like that. xD |

Should be fixed for 1.4.6. limits enchanted books quite a bit to not be able to combine them. |

I should note this bug only happens in Survival, if you combine the books in Creative it does produce improved enchantments. |

You can combine tools in the same manner = 2 Efficiency IV pickaxes can produce an Efficiency V on the anvil. |

Was it a bug in 12w49a or intentional ? |
| Comment by DarkWolff [ 13/Dec/12 ] |

In Snapshot 12w49, doing this would level up the enchantments similar to how combining enchanted items work. So: Sharpness 2 book + Sharpness 2 book = Sharpness 3 book What the reporter seems to be saying is you cannot do this anymore. |

Isnt' that pointless ? |
