How much total XP is level 30 in Minecraft?

Reaching level 30 takes 1,395 experience points in total from level 0. Level 30 is the threshold for the strongest enchanting-table enchantments.

What is the Minecraft experience formula?

Total XP to reach a level is level² + 6×level for levels 0–16, 2.5×level² − 40.5×level + 360 for levels 17–31, and 4.5×level² − 162.5×level + 2220 for levels 32 and above (Java Edition).

How much XP does enchanting actually cost?

An enchanting-table slot only consumes 1, 2 or 3 levels (plus the same amount of lapis lazuli). The number shown — up to 30 — is the minimum level you must have to unlock that slot, not the amount spent.

How many bookshelves do I need for level 30 enchantments?

You need 15 bookshelves placed one block away from the enchanting table (with an air gap) to unlock level 30 enchantments.

Does the XP bar reset after each level?

Yes. The green XP bar shows your progress within the current level only. Each level requires more points than the last, so the bar fills slower as your level rises.
