Enchantips
by fedpol1
Enchantips is a Fabric utility that shows enchantment details in item tooltips, anvil costs and enchanting power, all on the client side.
What it does
Enchantips shows information about enchantments that vanilla hides. Tooltips gain a repair cost line that tracks the penalty an item picks up after each anvil use, along with the value a tool carries inherently, which affects how well it responds to enchanting. Each enchantment has its own anvil cost value, so players can see how much combining it adds before committing materials.
The mod also reports where enchantments can come from. Enchantment targets show whether an item can receive an enchantment through the enchanting table, the anvil or both, and series icons appear next to enchantment names. Enchantment tags list the groups each enchantment belongs to, such as curse or tradeable. Enchanting power displays the range of possible values an enchanting level can produce, with the modified value shown for a level 30 offer. An optional anvil optimizer adds a button that swaps the two input items when doing so lowers the cost without changing the result. Enchantips also sorts enchantments in item tooltips and can highlight slots that hold enchanted items.
