Basic Enchantments
by Jouto
Basic Enchantments is a datapack with seven simple enchantments for helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots and swords, aimed at exploration and mining.
What it does
Each enchantment grants one effect: Luck raises the chance of better loot in chests, Haste speeds up mining, Jump Boost lets a player jump higher, Speed increases running pace, and a helmet, chestplate or leggings enchantment adds hearts to absorb attacks. The block interaction range enchantment lets a player work at longer distances, and the attack speed enchantment lets sword strikes land faster on mobs with a full charge.
The datapack keeps its scope small on purpose. The author set out to avoid the crowded enchantment lists of many modded setups, where most additions are either useless or overpowered, and kept the set to effects that a broad audience of players is likely to use. Suggestions for new enchantments are collected on GitHub, and additions depend on the author's free time.
The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt as a single file for 1.21.1. The server must run it, while players may leave it out.
