In 13w36a (a 1.7 snapshot), many actions that should enchant items would not actually apply any enchantments[1]. Only an empty enchantments tag (ench:[]) was applied. The tag is later converted to Enchantments:[] in 1.13, and then "minecraft:enchantment_glint_override": 1b in 24w14a (a 1.20.5 snapshot).

Obtaining

Items

The player can acquire phantom enchanted equipment in a large variety of ways in 13w36a. The simplest is enchanting equipment in the enchanting table, which includes all variants of helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots, pickaxes, shovels, axes, and swords, as well as bows and fishing rods. The player may also fish up phantom enchanted fishing rods and bows as treasure loot. Villagers also sell phantom enchanted equipment, so one may simply purchase an item. Additionally, enchanted equipment that mobs spawn with will be phantom enchanted, which may be dropped when killed.

Trades

Phantom enchanted equipment trades can be obtained simply by trading with a cleric until a trade for enchanted gear is unlocked. The trade will be a piece of equipment and 2-4 emeralds for the same piece of equipment phantom enchanted. Due to 13w36a overlapping with the version range of second buy slot removed trades, if the world is reloaded, the second buy slot will also be removed, leading to villagers that also phantom enchant items for free.

Mobs

Some mobs will occasionally spawn with enchanted equipment. This includes all types of helmets, chestplates, leggings, and boots, iron swords, iron shovels, bows, and golden swords. Make sure to nametag them so they do not despawn.

Updating

In 1.11 pre-1, the items will lose their glint. This does not revert them to normal however, because they still have the enchanted tag with 0 entries. A way to tell them apart from regular items before 24w14a is to press F3+H to see if it has more NBT tags than it otherwise should (renamed items add the display tag, anvil worked / repaired items add the RepairCost tag, and all equipment in 1.13 and above has the Damage tag to store the damage value of equipment).

Phantom enchanted equipment is deleted if loaded in any version between 24w09a and 24w13a (1.20.5 snapshots) due to a bug[2] in the migration to components, but they are converted to "minecraft:enchantment_glint_override": 1b in 24w14a and above. This will also return the glint animation for the first time since 1.10/the 1.11 snapshot phase.
