Hi I usually make mining turtle programs but i have a good mob spawner on my world and I would like to create a turtle that could just attack (i know how to do that part) but I also would like it to turn around and go to an enchantment table and enchant(thats the part where I have no clue) I dont know how to get enchantment levels or enchant from a turtle. any ideas?

it is not possible without peripherals installed. I believe it is MiscPeripherals that adds the XP turtle, and you craft the table with the turtle to get it.

Yes, MiscPeripherals adds the XP turtle in which you can autoCollect xp, enchant items, print the amount of levels, print the amount of xp orbs, and all that good stuff.

I am on ftb so i think its installed

In that case here are all the functions you have access to with the XP turtles (taken directly from the MiscPeripherals thread), you are required to wrap the enchantment table with peripheral.wrap and call the function on the wrapped object.

There are also a few topics very similar to this in other threads, so if you want some inspiration or guidance on how to go about doing this, the forum's search bar and google are your friends! I once built this kind of system in my FTB world (now lost to a hard drive crash), and it's really fun seeing something you've programmed work exactly how you wanted it to! Keep learning and trying and you'll get it!
