Craftable Enchants
Craftable Enchants lets players craft enchantment books at a crafting table, and upgrades them into higher tiers than vanilla allows.
What it does
Enchantment books can be crafted with a recipe for each enchantment, and the recipes are viewable through JEI. Enchantments with several tiers have a separate recipe for each tier, so the Unbreaking III recipe is distinct from the Unbreaking II recipe. Once a book is crafted, a sneak-and-click on it converts it into the matching Plus enchantment book.
The Plus enchantments exceed vanilla tiers. For most of them the maximum tier is raised to twice the vanilla value, so Protection reaches IV in vanilla and VIII here. Upgrading to a Plus enchantment requires the crafted enchantment book plus a netherite ingot in a smithing recipe, which makes the higher tiers a late-game step.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It is published for Fabric and Forge across nine game versions, 1.12.2 – 1.20.1, with 8.0.0 as the latest file for 1.20.1. The code is covered by All rights reserved, so the project is not open source.
