Enchanting Vanilla
by ENC_Euphony
Enchanting Vanilla is a set of quality-of-life changes for Minecraft Java Edition that keep the game close to its vanilla style, with optional features switchable in game.
What it does
Enchanting Vanilla focuses on optimizing the overall game experience through small quality-of-life improvements rather than new content. Its features cover actions such as dropping concrete powder, water solidifying into blocks, and detecting slime chunks. Most features can be switched on or off and configured visually in game, and configuration files are available for server owners who prefer to edit them directly.
The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 and the latest builds, 6.0.4 for 1.21.8, released on 2025-10-01. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Installing it requires Architectury API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), with the latter providing the in-game configuration screen. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Concrete powder dropping
Concrete powder can drop as its solid form, saving players the step of placing it in water.
Water solidification
Water can be made to solidify into blocks, a utility that reduces manual construction work.
Slime chunk detection
The mod can detect slime chunks, helping players locate where slimes spawn without searching by hand.
Switchable options
Most features can be enabled or disabled and adjusted visually in game through the configuration screen.

How it compares
Fixed Bottle o' Enchanting is a Fabric-only, server-side mod for 1.21.4 that is open source under the MIT License, so clients need nothing installed. Lapis My Zuli runs on Fabric for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 and is client-side only under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Enchanting Vanilla works on both sides and covers Fabric and NeoForge.
