Enchanting Templates

by shellawa

Enchanting Templates lets players copy an enchantment from one tool or armor piece onto another through a smithing table, using an amethyst shard and a template item.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

The mod adds a new Enchanting Template item that holds one enchantment. It is applied at a smithing table, and the template is duplicated the same way vanilla smithing templates are, using an emerald block and seven diamonds as the cost. Each template carries a single enchantment and cannot be combined with another, so a player who wants several enchantments has to make several templates.

The templates are found only in loot chests that hold enchanted books, which keeps them tied to exploration rather than to crafting alone. The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.

Key features

  1. Smithing duplication

    A template can be duplicated at a smithing table, following the same recipe pattern as regular smithing templates.

  2. Single-enchantment templates

    Each template stores exactly one enchantment, and templates are not combined with one another.

  3. Loot chest distribution

    Templates generate only in loot chests that also contain enchanted books.

  4. Tool and armor enchanting

    An enchantment from a template is added to a tool or armor piece at the smithing table with an amethyst shard.
