BN's Chiseled Enchanting

by cannibunger

BN's Chiseled Enchanting adds a chiseled bookshelf inscriber and a discount system that makes enchanting cheaper when more ingredients are used.

What it does

Enchanting costs can be high, so the mod lets a chiseled bookshelf placed around the inscriber feed enchantments in. Enchanted books can be applied to items through the inscriber without the book being consumed. Certain magical items found during adventures lower the cost further.

The cost of an enchantment is calculated from its level and the number of ingredient slots filled. Using more ingredients yields larger discounts, and a table in the project documentation lists costs for each level against each count of ingredients. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files exist for NeoForge alone, currently for 1.21.1 only. The mod is compatible with mods that add new enchantments or change enchantment compatibility behavior.

Key features

  1. Bookshelf-fed inscriber

    Chiseled bookshelves placed around the inscriber supply enchantments, which then go onto items.

  2. Book application without consumption

    Enchanted books can be applied to items through the inscriber and are not used up in the process.

  3. Ingredient discounts

    Each filled ingredient slot lowers the XP cost, so heavier use of ingredients gives larger reductions.

  4. Magical item ingredients

    Amethyst shards, Trial Keys, Blaze Powder and Dragon's Breath can be used as ingredients for cheaper enchanting.

What the author says

Enchanting Table RNG too frustrating? Alternative enchanting mods either too complicated or too overpowered? The inscriber allows you to take your existing enchanted books and apply them to items without consuming the book. Simply place chiseled bookshelves around your inscriber and fill them with enchantments!
