“	ENCHANTER – Recognizable by their strange hats and the magical tomes they clutch in their mottled hands, enchanters can boost the ability of other nearby mobs by creating a magical link to them. The link will be broken if you defeat the enchanter, so take them down first before the other mobs.	„
	— Guide to Minecraft Dungeons: A Handbook for Heroes

An enchanter is a hostile illager that can be found within the various missions of Minecraft Dungeons.

Relations[edit | edit source]

Enchanter's Tome – Meant only to be wielded by enchanters, this artifact can summon powerful enchantments.
Soul crossbow – Crafted by the mysterious evokers and enchanters of the woodland mansions.

Behavior[edit | edit source]

Enchanters are relatively weak, non-combative, and slow. Instead they mostly cast spells to make any allies stronger.

Basic attack

Enchanters hit and chase a target with their tome if they get too close (2.2 blocks), dealing light damage.

Enhance

Enchanters enchant up to two nearby mobs individually, increasing their stats and applying the Double Damage or Fast Attack enchantments onto them. An enchanted beam links an enchanter with a targets. If a target strays too far or an enchanter is defeated, the enchantment ends on that target. Enchanters cannot enchant other enchanters. Enchanting geomancers and iceologers doubles the damage of their geomancer bombs and ice chunks.

Novelty

An unused behavior in game. However this pose can be found within the Minecraft Dungeons loading screen as well as within an official image used for advertisement in the original game's start screen, prior to Minecraft Dungeon's release.
