I recently came across the map which had an enchanted Blaze Rod and Book. I'm not sure if SPC helps to cover this. I've scoured the forums, and nothing seems to clarify this. How can one enchant an un-enchantable item (ie, Blaze Rod, Book, Paper, etc.)

What specific enchantments did they have, or were they just glowing like an enchanted item? – gnovice Mar 23 '12 at 20:58
SPC might help... I've used it to get enchantments higher than the theoretical highest (I've used tools with Fortune X before (don't do this: If you hit gravel with it, you will crash your game)). I've never tried enchanting unenchantable items... (time for science!) – Unionhawk Mar 27 '12 at 12:11
The blaze rod had the one with fire (sets things on fire), and the book had knockback and smite – Retrosaur Mar 27 '12 at 18:49

To enchant enter this command

/enchant add [enchantmant] [Level]

Example: 

/enchant add fire_aspect 10

That command will enchant the item that you are holding to set mobs on fire

I addition to James' answer, you may also want to look at those two videos that explain the process:

Welcome to Gaming! Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to quote the essential parts of the videos here. – Jupotter Mar 26 '12 at 6:07
if you are in creative you can enhant EVERYTHING with an anvil and enchanted books :D – RustyMembers Jan 24 at 17:46

They are generally using editing tools, like MCEdit, to create the worlds and add into them the items that you are mentioning. Like the Super Hostile maps that you can get (I believe its Enchanted Caves that has a collection of ever more powerfully enchanted signs that are really very handy weapons in that map :))

I have yet, however, to see a command in SPC that would allow you to put an enchantment on an non-enchantable item. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong on this aspect :))

So can you add enchanted non-enchantable items into the world via MCEDit? – Retrosaur Mar 27 '12 at 18:49
There are quite a few editing tools that will allow you to achieve this. MCEdit is one of the more popular world editors. The videos posted by @rexp use Single Player Commands (a Minecraft mod) in order to do it it seems. Minecraft is a very very modifiable sandbox :) – James Mar 27 '12 at 19:41

With the new Enchanted books in snapshot 12w49a made it possible to enchant anything. Just take an enchanted book (Or enchant a book to get it), place it in an anvil together with the item and bam! It's a bug i know but it IS possible for now.

It was most likely tims the enchanter (a plugin) which makes it possible to enchant anything like the blaze rod and book. with it you can enchant a sword with all enchantments in-game like protection to level 127 etc. (127 is the highest level).

NBTedit, singleplayercommands(e.g. /enchant add 21 4),MCedit

I have a tutorial on NBTedit here:

Can you add an explanation to this in case the video ever disappears. – ChrisF Jan 19 at 23:50
