This weeks snapshot is a polishing one, tweaking some enchantments and fixing a lot of critical bugs! You can now also find a new Item called Enchanting Recipes, these new book variants can be found in most structures or traded with by villagers, consuming them grants you the recipe of the enchantment. Which Recipes can be found where, varies between loot table and also between villager trade. Besides that, there are also some new technical capabilities for enchantments. And a bunch of preparation for adding even more enchantments to the game.
Developers Note: from this snapshot onward to the 5th snapshot, there might be a bug that breaks your world, so use these snapshots on worlds you don't care about. It'll be fixed in the 6th snapshot. Also note that items with enchantment slots on them got wiped in this snapshot. But I guess that's the point of snapshots, don't use them on worlds you care about.
