How to get Infinity
- Enchanting table: it can appear as one of the offered enchantments when you spend lapis lazuli and levels on a compatible item.
- Enchanted books: find them in chests, trade with librarian villagers or fish them up, then combine the book on an anvil. Our anvil calculator shows the level cost.
- Commands: see below.
Infinity command
Apply it to the item in your main hand:
/enchant @s infinity 1The /enchant command only accepts levels up to the normal maximum and only on items that can take the enchantment. To make an item with any level, use the give command generator on Java Edition. See the /enchant wiki page for the full syntax.
Tips for Infinity
- Enchantments that conflict cannot be on the same item. Cannot be combined with Mending on a bow.
- Combine two books of the same level on an anvil to raise the level by one, up to the maximum.
- Prior work penalty makes each extra anvil step cost more, so plan the order of combinations. See how to use an anvil.
When to use it
Infinity lets a bow fire without consuming normal arrows, but you still need one arrow in your inventory. It is not compatible with Mending on a bow in survival, so choose between permanent repairs and free ammunition.
