Blackstones Runic
Blackstones Runic adds a custom enchanting system for Forge 1.19.2, built on runic books, a sacrifice altar and seven rarities of enchanted books.
What it does
The mod replaces ordinary enchanting with a rune-based system. Enchanted books come in seven rarities, from common and uncommon up through curse, rare, nether, legendary and ender. Books have five durability uses, and applying a higher level enchantment to a book is instant. A book can also be destroyed when it is no longer wanted.
A sacrifice altar, available in one or two block variants, creates runes from empty rune books. Players place items on the altar, and a sacrifice orb raises the chance of better runes while lowering the chance of curses. Applying runes costs experience, and runes other than obsidian-forged ones carry a near-certain chance of applying, with occasional curses. The author describes a fix for a bug that allowed several curses of one type on a single weapon.
Blackstones Runic requires Forge and is published only for 1.19.2. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source. Its item and enchantment tags use the forge namespace, so other mods can support them.

This is Runic. A Mod that adds a custom Enchantement System with Books in 7 rareties, a Sacrifice Altar and a Rune Altar.
