Enchanting Runes

by Lothrazar

Enchanting Runes lets players apply enchantments to early-game tools and armor by combining runes in a crafting grid.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.16.5 – 26.1.2

What it does

Runewords are the core mechanic. A player crafts a rune blade from gravel, uses stone to gather blank runes, and then upgrades those blanks into enchanted runes. Tools made from stone and wood, and leather armor, can take these enchantments early in a survival run. The order of runes does not matter in the crafting grid, only their quantity determines which enchantment results. A datapack can add more shapeless recipes, and a config file adds further enchantments.

The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.1.2, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Rune blade crafting

    A rune blade is made from gravel, giving players an early tool that can carry runeword enchantments.

  2. Blank runes from stone

    Blank runes are gathered with stone, and each blank can be upgraded into an enchanted rune.

  3. Shapeless runeword recipes

    Runewords are crafted without a fixed pattern, and the quantity of each rune sets the resulting enchantment.

  4. Configurable enchantments

    Additional enchantments can be added through the config file, and datapacks can add more shapeless recipes.
