Many people complain that enchanting is too random, and there should be a way to select enchantments, so that is what the scroll would be for. You'd find the scroll in general loot chests anywhere and would be sold by expert clerics for 3 emeralds.
Scrolls could be enchanted with items, each item corresponding to one enchantment, and up to four enchantments at once. Scrolls would be enchanted on scroll tables, where, along the scrolls, you'd need a water bottle, an xp bottle, obsidian, and a diamond, which would be necessary for every enchantment (that is, if you had 4 items on a scroll, you'd need 4 of each).
Enchantments on the scroll would also be additive, for example, if you put three iron swords in a scroll table, you'd get at least Sharpness III (that is, you still can get IV and V). Noted that you can't pass the survival limit, for example, putting four gold blocks on an enchantment table will still only get you Fortune III.
Scrolls could then be placed in a new slot on the enchantment table, where they would filter the selected enchantments for the tool or armor piece that they are enchanting.
As said, each item corresponds to an enchantment, examples are:
- Enchantment - Item
- Unbreaking - Obsidian
- Sharpness - Iron sword
- Efficiency - Diamond Pickaxe
- Fortune - Gold Block
- Silk Touch - Wool
- Aqua Affinity - Prismarine (block)
- Protection - Diamond
- Blast Protection - Tnt Minecart
- Fire Protection - Lava Bucket
- Projectile Protection - Spectral Arrow in Java/Tipped Arrow in Java or Bedrock
- Feather Falling - Feather
