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 Power enchantments. The Luck of the Sea enchant will increase your chances of catching enchanted items.

Loot from Chests

You'll find Power 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.

You'll be able to trade items with villagers to obtain Power. 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.

The Power enchantment is vital to maximizing your bow's strength. Prioritize adding this to your bow as soon as possible to more easily deal with enemies. This increased damage is particularly helpful against flying mobs, such as the Ender Dragon, since they're harder to reach with melee weapons.
