Enchantery
by lavabucket72
Enchantery is a Forge and NeoForge equipment mod that adds a set of enchantments to weapon-type items, several of which trigger effects on kills or right-clicks.
What it does
Enchantery adds several enchantments that can be applied only to items in the weapon category. Enchanted weapons gain effects that trigger during play, so a weapon with a given enchantment behaves differently from a plain one. Because the enchantments are limited to weapons, other tools and armor are unaffected.
Two of the effects are worth describing. When an enemy dies, a bone meal is applied to the block directly below it, which can speed up plant growth in the area where the fight happened. Another enchantment, tied to an amethyst shard spyglass, creates an explosion in the direction the player is looking when the item is used with the main hand. The author notes that the mod was built as a side project to try out Minecraft mod development, and that its contents may still change.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
