How to get Lure

  • Enchanting table: Surround a level 30 table with 15 bookshelves and roll until Lure appears.
  • Villager trading: Reroll librarian villagers until one stocks Lure.
  • Loot: Bastions, end cities and trial chambers regularly drop enchanted gear with Lure.

Anvil cost worked example

Applying a level-3 Lure book onto a brand-new item costs 12 XP levels (book multiplier 4 times level 3). Adding it on top of an item that has already been on the anvil once raises the cost by another 1 level for the prior-work penalty; twice and the penalty jumps to 3; three times, 7; and so on by 2^n - 1.

Pair Lure with cheap stuff first if you can - Unbreaking and Mending have low multipliers and don't conflict, so they're usually the cheapest path to a full endgame loadout.
