999 isn't the max btw. There is no max currently. Unless they changed it in 1.3+ I was in 1.2.5 and someone asked this question, so I went to SPC and kept giving myself xp. I got to 10800xp levels and gave up lol.
Level 30 will give you the same enchants as the previous 50. However, if you have anything over 30, it will not be recalculated as before. Ie) if you have 35 xp, you will have 5 after a level 30 enchant. In the past, the game would recalculate and your level would be slightly higher.
Cause i have like 50 EXP!!! Thanks Guys for helping me out!! But 1 more question i really want a Silk Touch Unbreaking Pick get any tips in how to get 1?
I believe that the level 50 and the now 30 level are different, back when it was 50 you didn't get as good of enchantments as you do now at 30.
At least we don't have to grind nonstop for hours to get a high level enchant anymore...and can switch it up with some mining!
