Easy Magic (Backport)
by xyhaunter
Easy Magic (Backport) brings the enchanting table and its surrounding interface of the modern versions to Forge for 1.12.2.
What it does
Enchanting tables keep working as normal blocks while the mod runs. Lapis and XP still power the table, and a reroll button adds new enchantment options for a small lapis and XP cost. Configurable enchantment previews show bookshelf power requirements, and non-solid blocks can sit between the bookshelves and the table without lowering the enchantment level. Client and server both need it, and it is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 as open source.
Key features
Floating item renders
The enchanting table interface shows the item being enchanted as a floating render, with the lapis and XP costs visible.
Reroll button
A button beside the table rerolls the enchantment options for a small lapis and XP cost.
Configurable previews
Enchantment previews and bookshelf power requirements can be turned on or adjusted in the configuration.
