The bottle estimate assumes 7 points per bottle on average; each bottle drops a random amount.
How to use it
- Type your current level (the green number above your hotbar).
- Type the level you want to reach.
- Read the points you still need in the green box.
- Use the bottle estimate to plan how many bottles o' enchanting to throw.
How it works
The game uses three formulas for the points needed per level: 2×level+7 up to level 15, 5×level−38 from 16 to 30, and 9×level−158 after that. The calculator adds them up. Each level costs more than the one before, which is why high levels drain so fast.
Questions
How much XP do I need for level 30?
1,395 points from level 0. Level 30 is enough to see the best enchantments on an enchanting table with 15 bookshelves.
Why do levels get harder?
The points needed per level grow with the level itself, and grow faster after levels 15 and 30. Spending levels from 30 down to 27 costs far more points than going from 3 to 0.
Is it the same in Java and Bedrock?
Yes. Both editions use the same experience formulas, so the numbers on this page work in both.
