Core Overhaul - Exp Anvils Enchanting

by CrimsonRed1710

Core Overhaul - Exp Anvils Enchanting reworks how experience, enchanting and anvil repairs work, and adds a few optional tweaks to farming and archaeology.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Core Overhaul changes several core systems at once. Experience progression is reworked, the enchanting table is changed, and repairing items on an anvil follows different rules. Farming and archaeology can also grant experience, and the looting enchantment can be set to apply to more weapons, with that option available on 1.21.1. Some of these changes can be switched off in the configuration, so a server owner can keep only the parts that suit the world.

The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge. Files are published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest Forge build 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge build 1.1.1 for 1.21.1. Both the server and every player need it, because the changes affect how the game plays on each side. It is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Experience progression rework

    The amount and pacing of experience gained through play is changed, so levelling follows a different curve.

  2. Enchanting rework

    The enchanting process is altered, changing which enchantments are offered and how the table behaves.

  3. Anvil repair rework

    Repairing tools and armor on an anvil follows revised rules for cost and result.

  4. Farming and archaeology experience

    Harvesting crops and digging up archaeology finds can award experience, which can be toggled individually.
