Do enchanting requirements change in the Nether?

I had a level 30 enchantment table setup in the Overworld, but made a blaze xp/rod grinder and moved the entire enchant table and bookshelves to the Nether to enchant there. I was about to enchant a pickaxe, when I saw that the enchantment table was only able to go up to level 20. I checked the bookshelves, and while I do not have the required 16, I have 15, which should get me up to 28.

Do enchanting requirements change in the Nether?


Solution 1:

No. The enchantment requirements stay the same for both the Overworld and the Nether. I did a little testing and the results can be viewed here. I gave myself 150 levels of XP, then created an enchantment station with some bookshelves in each dimension. Both stations in the Overworld and Nether provided level 30 enchantments.
