Book Type Enchanting

Each class-specific book is crafted from eight books and one item of the matching class, such as a sword, pickaxe, helmet or set of boots. Books created this way can only be applied to items of their corresponding class, and a configurable material tier restriction can narrow that further. The crafting rule is simple and covers every class except the trident, which has its own recipe that is easier to craft.

When a player places an Enchanting Table and adds lapis, the table can be set to show only enchantments for one chosen weapon, tool or armor type. The unique enchantment books behave like normal enchanted books afterward, and they apply through the anvil in the usual way. Covered classes are the sword, axe, pickaxe, shovel, hoe, bow, crossbow and trident, plus the helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots.

The mod is built for NeoForge and targets Minecraft 1.21.1 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Installation means placing the jar in the mods folder and starting the game. The code is available as public source, but the mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
