Extra Enchants
by andropimo
Extra Enchants is a Fabric mod for 1.21.8 that adds new enchantments to the game, covering shield damage, mob-triggered effects and knockback on hit.
What it does
One of the added enchantments lets an attack deal a small amount of damage through a shield, so a blocked hit still reaches the target. Another makes a weapon behave like a Sculk Catalyst when it kills a mob, so the kill itself triggers an effect. A third pulls an entity back when it is attacked, moving the attacker's target away from the player.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it for the enchantments to work in multiplayer. It is built with MCreator 2025.3 and the Fabric Generator plugin, and it is published for Fabric only, with a single release, 1.0.0 for 1.21.8, dated 2026-03-13. The author has noted that more enchantments are planned for later versions.
Extra Enchants is not open source. The source code and the issue tracker are public, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code may be read but not reused without permission.
Key features
Shield piercing damage
An enchantment deals a small amount of damage through shields, so blocking does not fully cancel the hit.
Sculk-style kill effect
An enchantment causes a mob kill to trigger an effect similar to a Sculk Catalyst.
Knockback pull
An enchantment pulls an entity back when it is attacked, changing how a fight spaces out.
Planned additions
The author describes more enchantments as planned for future updates.

How it compares
Shield Rework is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that changes shields, with the same client and server environment and an All rights reserved license. Swordchants! is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that adds sword enchantments, released under the MIT License. Extra Enchants targets 1.21.8 only, so a player on another version must use one of these instead.
