Enchantment Forge
by spacemex
Enchantment Forge is a Magic mod for Fabric and Forge that lets players forge enchantments through data-driven recipes in a Stardew Valley style workflow.
What it does
Recipes for enchanting and forging come from datapacks rather than from code, so a pack maker can add new combinations without touching the mod. Players combine tools, fuel and gems in a workflow modeled on the Forge in Stardew Valley. Crafting speed can be tuned in the config file, and a single admin command adjusts a player's experience points.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Architectury API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside it. Files exist for 1.20 and 1.20.1, with the 1.0.0 build for 1.20.1 published on 2025-09-09 for both Fabric and Forge. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, and the source and issue tracker are public.

Custom progression packs
Pack makers write recipe files to define which tool and gem combinations produce which enchantments.
Who it’s for: Pack makers and server owners who want enchanting tied to a farming-style forge, and who are comfortable editing datapack JSON or using a generator for it.
How it compares
Star Rating is a Forge-only mod for 1.20.1 with All rights reserved licensing, so it does not run on Fabric. Soul Forging targets Fabric for 1.20 and is also All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Enchantment Controller is Fabric-only for 1.20.1 under the MIT License and is open source, which makes it the closest match in license terms.

What the author says
A data-driven enchanting/forging mod inspired by Stardew Valley’s Forge. Create custom recipes with datapacks (no code), tune the crafting speed, and use a simple command to adjust player XP. Q: Will this be updated to version X? A: At some point—once I wrap my head around Mojang’s new methods and API changes.
