Enchanted Utilities

by KiwiFish

Enchanted Utilities makes shields, shears, flint and steel, and wolf and nautilus armor enchantable at the enchantment table, and adds its own enchantments on top of the vanilla set.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21.5 – 26.1.2

What it does

Enchanted Utilities extends the enchantment table to items that vanilla does not allow to be enchanted, including shields, shears, flint and steel, wolf armor and nautilus armor. Its own enchantments expand the existing vanilla ones rather than replacing them, so the table offers more choices for the same items. The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may add it to their own game.

Compatibility is listed for the Protection and Thorns enchantments, Unbreaking and Efficiency. Thorns works with shield blocking and with players, and Unbreaking makes wolf armor take considerably more hits before breaking. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds for 26.1.2 and the 1.21.5 – 26.1.2 range, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Enchantable utility items

  3. Thorns on shields

  4. Unbreaking for wolf armor
