I'm new to Minecraft and did a lot of googling but everyone has a different answer for silk touch.
Does anyone have a definite way to get it with an enchantment table?
Some say you need to be level 17 and have 9 bookshelves before it will show up (random). Others say you need to be between level 20 and 30. One says 30. Another says you can just keep trying over and over using a grindstone to remove the wrong enchantment before trying again.
What do you mean by a full enchantment table?
Also isn't what a villager gives you going to be random too?
If you find a villager with no job. Trap it. Place a lectern next to it. It becomes a librarian. Check what it sells. Silk touch? Nope. Break the lectern, the villager reverts to not a librarian. Villagers only keep their jobs if you have bought something from them. Replace the lectern, check (it now has new items for sale), break, rinse and repeat. Once you find it, buy it and the librarian will be locked to always sell it.
Only downside is you need emeralds. But on the upside, you get infinite silk touch.
Thanks!
One thing here bisby left off. If you check the villager and they are selling Mending books, don't break the lectern. Find a new villager. :) Also, I have had some luck finding silk touch pickaxes in things like sunken ship chests, or buried treasure chests. You can also try fishing one up, but you better like fishing. It's my happy place, so I have fished up a lot of them over the years over thousands of hours just fishing. It relaxes me for some reason.
Yes! Great point. If you find any other book that you really like (Mending being a perfect example)... keep the librarian... find a new villager, and start the process over.
