Campfire Enchanting
by Campfiring
Campfire Enchanting lets players apply enchantments to items by burning lapis lazuli and levels at campfires, with separate rules for normal and soul campfires.
What it does
Normal campfires consume five levels and one lapis lazuli per enchantment, while soul campfires require fifteen levels and one lapis lazuli. Items enchanted at a campfire at level fifteen have a small chance of receiving a curse, and at level thirty and above curses always apply, which is closer to how a classic enchanting table behaves at those levels.
Tools only receive enchantments through anvils, so the campfire path does not cover every item type. Tools that already work with campfires in vanilla keep that behavior. Throwing an item into a campfire or soul campfire is the trigger for the enchantment.
The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, and players may add it to gain the campfire interaction on their side. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack for servers, across ten release versions covering 1.21.2 – 1.21.11. The code is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is not open source.
