Minecraft – What ways can I change which enchantments the table gives me in Minecraft

minecraft-bedrock-edition

I have decided to start a new survival world on my Minecraft Bedrock Edition and I have ran into an issue: I seem to not be able to get different enchantments.

While trying to enchant a Bow, it has only gave me the options of Power 1. That was not satisfactory, so I decided to put a better bow enchantment on a book.

Now the books is only offered Efficiency 1, Sharpness 1, and Impaling 1. I tried multiple books, putting the Bow in again, replacing my table, and placing a few book shelves around (sadly I don't have 15 shelves of yet).

Is there any way to reset the random enchantments offered? As far as I had read on Enchantment Tables are supposed to be random, but now I am unsure.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Note: I am playing v1.4.0 on Windows 10

As enchantments offered depend on the enchantment level and the enchantment level depends on the number of active bookshelves, an easy way to change the enchantments offered is to disable bookshelves by placing torches between them and the enchantment table. That way one can still have the entire 'ring' of bookshelves around the table but get lower-level enchantments. Breaking the torches will restore the effect of the bookshelves.
