Enchant Craft
by mathiasmods
Enchant Craft is a NeoForge mod that lets players apply enchanted books to tools and weapons inside the crafting grid, without an enchanting table.
What it does
Enchanted books can be combined with tools, weapons and other items in a crafting grid, so enchantments no longer depend on experience points or the enchanting table. Enchantment levels stack when the same enchantment is applied more than once, so Sharpness combined with Sharpness II yields a higher level, and crafting returns a blank book so the enchanting table can be reused.
The mod is built for players who want to focus on gathering enchantments rather than managing XP costs. Its author pairs it with Pickle Tweaks, which the notes describe as a companion for disabling its other features and adding recipe overrides. Changes to the recipe and tool-support settings go into the pickletweaks-common.toml config, and the author asks that this file be kept read-only so the changes are not overridden on launch.
The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge only, with 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest build. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Game versions covered are 1.21.1 and 26.2.
Key features
Enchanted books in the crafting grid
Enchanted books can be applied to tools, weapons and other items by placing them together in a crafting grid.
No experience cost
Applying enchantments does not use experience points, which removes the XP step from the enchanting process.
Stackable enchantment levels
Repeated applications of the same enchantment add up, so a higher level can be reached by combining books.
Recipe overrides for tools
A config file adds recipe overrides for shears, bows, crossbows, fishing rods, spears and other tools, with the materials set per item.
