Enchancement
by MoriyaShiine
With Enchancement installed, the enchanting table offers a menu of chosen enchantments in place of random rolls, and Enchanted Books gain a role in the process.
What it does
The mod overhauls vanilla enchanting. The enchanting table interface is replaced with a version that removes randomness: the player selects the enchantments wanted. Enchanting requires Chiseled Bookshelves holding Enchanted Books, and each enchanted item draws an extra material cost tied to its type, such as diamonds for diamond gear. Bookshelves lower what enchanting costs in experience, lapis and materials, and villagers sell only unenchanted items.
Most vanilla enchantments are removed and replaced with 34 new ones that grant unique abilities instead of plain stat changes. Enchanted Books for each gear type appear more often in particular structures, such as Nether Fortresses for helmets and Trial Chambers for chestplates. Levelless, enchantment-limit and durability-free modes can be turned on in the config. Enchancement requires Fabric API, Forgified Fabric API, Launchpad and StrawberryLib, and it bundles MidnightLib. It is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.18.2 – 26.3, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Random-free enchanting
The enchanting table lets the player choose each enchantment directly instead of receiving a random set.
Bookshelf-gated enchanting
Enchanting draws on Chiseled Bookshelves that contain Enchanted Books, which serve as the source of enchantments.
Material cost per item
Each enchantment costs materials matched to the enchanted item, and bookshelves reduce that cost along with experience and lapis.
Structure-specific books
Enchanted Books for each gear type spawn mainly in linked structures, from Ocean Ruins for tridents to Shipwrecks for fishing rods.
Grindstone book transfer
Enchantments can be moved off gear onto books at a grindstone, while books are barred from anvil use on tools.
