Enchanted books without enchantments

This is to do with enchanted books such as these:


Since a few members have been paying high amounts for an item that they believe is "rare", I'm telling you now, it isn't.
You need to enchant a book with a table, and then /enchant [Enchantment] 0 to get rid of it.
If anyone sells them for a high price, telling players that they are rare, that is scamming and you will be punished for it.

Thanks for reading.

 

well, to be fair. If nobody knew of this trick they would be "rare" seeing not a lot are in the economy.

So its technically the truth?

 

An enchantment book is rare?

 

Sorry

 

Yet, if a few are in circulation the item would still appear to be rare. If the person mass produces them and overflows the market then it will lose its rarity and become uncommon or common.

Seeing this got stated on the forums I doubt the item to be "rare" for much longer.

and to be fair, if they were rare I wouldn't exactly say "scammed" seeing its just an item for item trade. both parties know full well what item they are going to get. Nobody sells at cost ;P

 

I knew about this in the past, I remember players were selling this on other survival servers.

 

I would also like to add that the "Create a skyblock" cobblestone isn't rare because I've seen some people selling them for 200+ grass. People can get it easily from creating their first island on the server.

 

They only get it once and it's most likely disposed of soon after it's used.

 

You can't, you now get a book. Thus making the item unobtainable. And i'm rather sure not everybody kept it and we get to rare.

 

You get a book now so you cant anymore

 

Haven't seen one but will keep a lookout for one

Also if the enchantment book doesn't have a name and when you use it, you would get the enchantments, just isn't told to you. I can see why it can be considered a scam but at the same time it can also be not cause you were getting some sort of enchantments. Not saying I'm against it, just something flying around my mind

 

It isn't actually enchanted. It has no use.

 

But how do you remove the enchantments on it though? To get the texture for the enchanted book, don't you need to enchant it? Correct me, cause I never played singleplayer in years

 

All you need to do, is to enchant the book using the enchantment table, then do /enchant <enchantments you got from the enchantment table> 0. It removes the enchantments, but keeps the shiny book texture. (As Laini explained earlier on in this thread).

 

sounds complicated lol

 

It is, and the book has no actual value.

 

:O I never knew that, know I do

 

I only buy things that are useful and needed for my island so this won't be a problem for me.

 

I rarely buy enchanted books soo
