Chosen Enchants
by Surrender
Chosen Enchants lets a player pick the enchantment on a book at an anvil instead of relying on chance.
What it does
Normally an enchanted book comes from the enchantment table or a random roll, but this mod lets a player combine a regular book with lapis lazuli and an item in an anvil to get a book with a chosen enchantment at a chosen level. Players rename the book in the anvil to name the enchantment they want, so the result is no longer left to randomization. The mod runs on Fabric for 1.20.4, and only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. The license is All rights reserved, and public source code links exist.
