Minecraft – How to choose which enchantment to accept in Minecraft

minecraft-java-edition

My character has level 50 experience. I go to an enchanting table, with all bookcases correctly placed. I enchant my diamond pick.

The table offers me a choice of 3 enchantments.

There's three lines of unreadable script, followed by the exp cost of the enchantment.

Sometimes the higher exp cost will not be the last choice. EG

kuqeugqwdih – 18
zkxnklalas – 41
opplkmglkmf – 37

Normally I would chose the higher number. But should I chose the last in the list?

(This is MC 1.2.5 on a multiplayer server, if it makes any difference.)

Enchantment names are randomly constructed from the following list of words. Three to five words are chosen from the list and appended to each other, then displayed in the Standard Galactic Alphabet. Note that the names have no meaning and are not saved on the enchanted item (meaning they will tell you nothing about what the resulting spell will be), and they are only displayed in the Enchantment Table interface.

This might help to decide which one is the best for you. enter image description here Source

Also you should look at the source, since your level is modified by the tool/material of the tool. And what you get is randomized of the possible enchantment. A few of these enchantment have more "weight" during this randomization, you can find a table for the enchantment weight also on the linked page.
