Author: TheBetaBowl

Beta's Better Enchantments changes a set of repetitive enchantments, folding some of them into others and giving a few a new purpose on bows and pickaxes.

What it does

The pack removes some enchantments that repeat the effect of another and repurposes them. On bows, the pack gives Fire Aspect a role that the vanilla Flame enchantment already fills, and it also allows Multishot on bows. Looting is removed from the list, and the two cannot be combined on the same tool.

Pickaxes gain a Smelt enchantment that turns mined blocks into their smelted result, and the Luck of the Sea enchantment is changed in the same pass. A short list in the author text names which enchantments were removed or repurposed, and the pack is meant to trim the enchantment list rather than add many new ones.

The mod is a data pack for server platforms and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Its files cover 1.21.2 – 1.21.7 across five release versions, with 1.0.4+mod for 1.21.7 as the latest build. It is released under the MIT License, is not open source, and only the server needs it, while clients may leave it out.

Key features

Bow Fire Aspect
Fire Aspect applies to bows, taking over the job of the vanilla Flame enchantment.
Smelting pickaxes
Pickaxes can be enchanted to smelt the blocks they break, so ore drops come out ready to use.
Looting replaced by a fortune effect
Looting is removed from the list and a fortune-style effect is used in its place for the same drop purpose.
Multishot on bows
Multishot works on bows, and it is mutually exclusive with Fire Aspect on the same bow.

Questions

Does Beta's Better Enchantments need to be installed on clients?

No. Only the server has to run the pack, and players can join without installing it.

Which game versions does the pack support?

Files cover 1.21.2, 1.21.3, 1.21.4, 1.21.5 and 1.21.7, with 1.0.4+mod for 1.21.7 as the latest release on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.

Can Fire Aspect and Multishot be combined on one bow?

No. Multishot is mutually exclusive with Fire Aspect, so a bow cannot carry both enchantments at once.
