The most common way to obtain Lure is through an Enchanting Table. You'll need XP and Lapis Lazuli to enchant an item.

Use Bookshelves to increase enchantment levels

Placing bookshelves around the Enchanting Table will increase the possible enchantment levels of an item. There must be one block of air between a bookshelf and the Enchanting Table for this to work.

Obtain by Fishing

Head out into open water and use your Fishing Rod to catch items with Lure enchantments. The Luck of the Sea enchant will increase your chances of catching enchanted items.

Loot from Chests

You'll find Lure in Treasure Chests in structures and dungeons around the world. Make sure you're properly equipped with armor and weapons since these areas will be infested with Mobs.

Trade with Villagers

You'll be able to trade items with villagers to obtain Lure. Librarians will be your best bet since you can trade Emeralds for enchantments even at Novice levels.

You'll have to level up other Villager types to obtain their enchanted stock.

How to Use Lure

Increases the Amount you Catch while Fishing

Lure lessens the time you have to wait before catching something on your hook. This includes fishes, treasure, and junk. You'll want to equip this to your Fishing Rod as soon as possible since it makes fishing much easier and more efficient.

Combine with Luck of the Sea

Make sure to combine Lure with the Luck of the Sea enchantment to further increase your likelihood of getting treasure, such as Enchanted Books.
