How to get Swift Sneak
- Loot chests: Ancient cities, trial chambers, bastions, and end city ships drop Swift Sneak books reliably.
- Villager trading: Librarian villagers can offer Swift Sneak books for 5-19 emeralds depending on rarity.
- Fishing: With Luck of the Sea III you have a small chance per catch to pull a treasure book.
Anvil cost worked example
Applying a level-3 Swift Sneak book onto a brand-new
item costs 24
XP levels (book multiplier 8 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 Swift Sneak 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.
