Dark Enchanting [NeoForge/Fabric]

by frqnny

Dark Enchanting adds a Dark Enchanter block that lets a player apply any enchantment to an item, paying extra experience for the choice.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.16.5 – 1.21.7

What it does

The Dark Enchanter is a crafted block. A player places an item in it, picks the enchantment wanted, and pays the experience cost that comes with a custom selection. Enchantments are not limited to the options a standard enchanting table offers.

The mod runs on both the server and every player's client, so both sides must install it. Builds are published for Fabric and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.7, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Custom enchantment selection

    Any enchantment can be chosen for an item, instead of the random set produced by a standard enchanting table.

  2. Experience cost

    Each custom selection costs more experience, so the choice trades a resource for control over the result.

  3. Simple crafting recipe

    The Dark Enchanter is made from a recipe listed on the mod's page, so it can be crafted in survival without special setup.
