Playing Minecraft 1.21.5 and I have a problem

[Cercamon]

Every time I enchant anything only two enchantments show up and they are always the same. I tried several times to no avail. Did they change that in this version?

[A&A]

You have to enchant something to get new options.

Otherwise you're very unlucky.

I appreciate that someone answered, however that is pretty cryptic.

Don't you need "Enchanted Books" for more?

Get those by fishing, trading, finding treasure, killing Pillagers in raids, and by enchanting books at the enchantment table.

When you got your enchanting up to level 30, surround an Enchanting Table with 15 Bookshelves and it should give you random enchants each time.

[unskilled-]

Make sure you got the enchanting table surrounding by 9 bookshelves to get all 3 enchanting options.

Then assemble some gear you want to enchant like diamond armor, helm, legs, sword, pick-axe etc etc... and other stuff like bows, crossbows, fishing rods to help with providing greatest amount of available options to get something useful.

And don't forget you can enchant Books as well. You can enchant a book with multiple enchantments (like sharp 5 and mending for swords) to help get around the increasingly prohibitive cost of levels needed to enchant an item.

[Cercamon]

So, I need to find enchanted stuff or enchant books to get new enchanments? Is that right?

The only two enchantments I get are Ubreaking III and Efficiency IV in my tools. In previous versions you could get lucky and get the best tool in one go, I understand they changed it so that progression is slower?

sounds almost identical to the elite dangerous engineering system.

No for the Enchanting Table you set up to craft Enchantments yourself; as the first poster noted you need to craft an item to re-roll the list of enchantments available.

I'm only getting the same two enchantments all the time. Am I just very unlucky then?

But given a choice, go with Unbreaking 3 as that is the max level of Unbreaking in the game. Efficiency can roll upto level 5.

I might be wrong, but you should be able to combine two Efficiency 4 enchanted items to create an Efficiency 5 enchanted item.

I'm assuming you have the max amount of bookshelves surrounding your enchanting table; probably.

Try enchanting a fishing rod or something.

If you replace a diamond pickaxe with another diamond one, you get the same list of enchantments too.

Isn't it better to enchat books with the cheapest option and gamble for fortune?

Honestly the whole grind is long either way, lol.

If I see max level enchantment I tend not to toss that away regardless if it means I end up having multiple of the same thing I don't need.

[Gamball]

Sounds like a skill issue?
