Steps to Enchant the Golden Boots

1. Open the Enchantment Table

Before you begin, make sure you have the required materials and an enchantment table.

To maximize the available enchantments, you need to place 15 bookshelves around the enchantment table in the following design:

Assuming that you have already made an enchantment in Minecraft and placed it somewhere in the map, find the enchantment table and stand in front of it.

The game control to open your enchantment table depends on the version of Minecraft:

For PC/Mac, right click on the enchantment table to open the Enchant menu.
For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the enchantment table to use it.
For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller to use the enchantment table.
For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller to use the enchantment table.
For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the enchantment table to open the Enchant menu.
For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad to use the enchantment table.
For Education Edition, right click on the enchantment table to open the Enchant menu.

Now your enchantment table is open and you can see your Enchant menu.

The Enchant menu is made up of two boxes on the left - the first box is where you place the item that you wish to enchant. The second box is where you place lapis lazuli.

On the right are three enchantment slots which will display the possible enchantments to choose from when enchanting an item.

2. Enchant the Golden Boots

In the Enchant menu, place the golden boots in the first box. Then place 3 lapis lazuli in the second box.

TIP: In Creative mode, you do not need to place the lapis lazuli in the second box.

Once you have placed your golden boots and lapis lazuli in the two boxes, you will see the enchantment slots display up to 3 enchantment options on the right. Each enchantment will display a number which is the number of experience levels that you must have to unlock and view the enchantment.

In this example, the first enchantment is unlocked if you have 5 experience levels, the second one is unlocked if you have 16 experience levels, and for the third enchantment you need 30 experience levels to unlock it.

The higher the experience points required to unlock the enchantment, the better the enchantment. If you don't have enough levels, you can always earn more experience points by killing mobs or using the /xp command.

TIP: If you hover over the slot, you will see the name of the enchantment and the cost.

When you hover over the third enchantment, it says Fire Protection IV and the cost of the enchantment is 3 lapis lazuli and 3 enchantment levels (ie: levels on your experience bar). Fire Protection IV is one of the 3 enchantments that you can select from the enchantment table.

Select the enchantment that you wish to apply to the golden boots.

Once you have selected an enchantment, your lapis lazuli and experience points will be spent and the golden boots will glow purple. You can hover over the enchanted boots to see its new powers.

TIP: Quite often the enchantment table will add more than just the one enchantment originally selected. So you might end up with an item that is enchanted with 2 or 3 enchantments!

The golden boots are now enchanted golden boots and you can move them back into your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made enchanted golden boots in Minecraft!

Durability

Durability represents how long the item will last. For tools, weapons and transportation, durability is the number of useful actions before the item is destroyed. For armor items, durability is the number of hits (that can be blocked by armor) before the item is destroyed. So the higher the durability number, the longer the item will last.
