Overview[]
Books, also known as enchants, are obtained from chests that spawn in caves. Different chests offer different books, and each book provides certain boosts for more effective mining. Equipped enchants add visual effects to your pickaxe that intensify at higher levels. Books can also be traded between players.
For a list of chances to obtain books from their respective chests, see Chests.
Books start at Level I and can be merged into higher levels for improved effects. Two books of the same enchant and level can be merged to increase the book's level, as shown below:
This pattern continues, as two level ⅠⅠ books are required to make a Level ⅠⅠⅠ book and so forth in an exponential pattern. They can either be merged one-by-one, or bulk merged with the Enchant Plus gamepass.
With the Enchant Plus gamepass, books can also be unmerged into lower levels, allowing for easier usage, sharing, and trading.
Below is a table showing a book's cost per level:
