Enchant+
by LDEV
Enchant+ reworks enchanting tables, anvils and grindstones on Fabric, changing how enchantments are priced, combined and repaired.
What it does
Enchant+ replaces the enchanting, anvil and grindstone behavior with a redesigned set of rules. Enchantments cost their own configurable experience and lapis amounts, which can be set to negative values, and the cost of combining items is tracked separately and capped at 64 experience levels. Enchantments that were previously impossible to get together, such as Infinity with Mending or Sharpness with a new combination, become available, and Mending is split into two tiers.
Repair options are widened: netherite accepts ingots and scrap, tridents accept prismarine, and bows, fishing rods and crossbows accept string. Anvil repair works up to 16 levels, and vanilla behavior is kept for everything else. Using a grindstone lowers item durability, which makes it a trade-off. The server must run the mod, and a bonus resource pack, included with the mod, handles the display changes.
Enchant+ is published for Fabric only, in release S1.8.1 for 1.21.10, released 2025-11-14. It is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. It is required on the server and optional for players.
Key features
Rebalanced enchanting costs
Enchantments require 2, 4 or 8 levels of experience and lapis rather than 1, 2 or 3, and each enchantment has its own configurable cost.
Capped combination cost
The cost of combining items is tracked on its own and capped at 64 experience levels, so repeated work stays within a fixed limit.
Split Mending
Mending is divided into two tiers, and new enchantment combinations such as Infinity with Mending become possible.
Anvil and grindstone changes
Anvils can repair items without a hard cap up to a maximum cost of 32 levels, and grindstone use reduces durability.
