Detailed Enchantments

by IriDark

Detailed Enchantments shows a description for each Minecraft enchantment, so players can read what an enchantment does before using it.

What it does

The mod is a Forge addition that attaches descriptions to enchantments. Its goal is to make the enchanting process easier to read by showing what each enchantment does on the item. Descriptions appear in item tooltips and are shown by default when the player holds Shift, which keeps the tooltip short otherwise. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and are released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only.

Key features

  1. Enchantment descriptions

    Each enchantment gets a short text that explains its effect, shown alongside the item it applies to.

  2. Shift for details

    Descriptions appear in item tooltips when Shift is held, a default setting that keeps tooltips compact.

  3. Editable descriptions

    New descriptions can be added and existing ones changed, so other enchantment sets can be covered.
