Broken's Enchantment Overhaul
Broken's Enchantment Overhaul changes how the enchanting anvil works, adds new enchantments and reworks several existing ones for Fabric and NeoForge.
What it does
Enchanting mechanics are reworked in this mod. Enchantments are generally stronger, most of them reach a maximum level set by the mod, and each enchanted item carries only one enchantment. Armor, tools and weapons with enchantments receive bigger bonuses to protection, efficiency and durability, and the size of each bonus scales with the item's enchantability. The enchanting table offers three unique options, and bookshelves have a 1% chance to consume experience lapis during enchanting. Lapis costs stay constant whatever the slot.
Repair works differently too. Repairing an unenchanted item costs experience, and the cost for an enchanted item rises with each later repair. Harvesting most non-resource blocks costs durability. The new tools include a Fire Aspect enchantment, which ignites targets and raises burn damage on consecutive hits, a Deep Fryer enchantment that cooks caught fish and sets reeled targets alight, and a Luck of the Sea enchantment that increases fishing speed. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with 0.4.0 as the latest file for 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server.
