Enchantment Amendment
Enchantment Amendment changes how a small set of vanilla and modded enchantments behave, so a player's gear works differently from one installed on the same server without it.
What it does
The mod revises a few enchantments, both vanilla and from other mods. Aqua Affinity, Bane of Arthropods, Frost Walker and Soul Speed each get adjusted values or conditions, and several enchantments gain a more exclusive relationship with one another. Most of the changes can be switched off in the config file, and the enchantment cap on enchantable items defaults to 3 but can be changed there as well.
Enchantment Amendment runs on NeoForge only and is published for 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file. Because it changes how enchantments work, both the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Adjusted Aqua Affinity
Aqua Affinity removes the penalty for mining underwater, and submerged mining speed is set to 80 percent of the level it normally gives.
Reworked Bane of Arthropods
Bane of Arthropods deals extra damage to mobs tagged as sensitive to the effect, and the bonus depends on the enchantment level.
Lightning and weather chances
The chance of lightning strikes from the Lightning Rod-style effect depends on the weather, with separate values for thunder, rain and clear skies.
Book and item rules
Enchanted books hold one enchantment at a time, stack to 64, and enchantments can go up to level 5 except Silk Touch.

Use cases
Survival balance
Servers that want enchantments to matter differently can keep the amended values and turn off the changes they do not want through the config file.
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want fewer enchantment overlaps and tweaked values for a small number of enchantments.
How it compares
Enchantment Cap Extension is open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.1, and it is server required with client optional, so the server needs it while players may leave it out. Rebalantment is a client and server mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Enchantments Galore! is also client and server for 1.21.1, under All rights reserved and not open source.

What the author says
Enchantment Amendment addresses some of my personal issues with enchantments with small, but impactful, tweaks to vanilla (and some modded) enchantments. Most changes can be configured or disabled with the config file. Enchantable items now have an enchantment cap (defaults to 3, configurable). Books however can only…
