Enchantment Research Table

by sam.j.scott1

Enchantment Research Table adds a block that replaces anvil enchanting with a research system, where players consume enchanted books to discover enchantments for later use.

What it does

The Research Table has three tabs. The research tab consumes enchanted books or items carrying enchantments that have already been discovered, and it can discover further enchantments on the same item. Research grows by about 1% per bookshelf within 3 blocks of the table, up to 25%, so a well-lit setup improves results. Discovering the highest-level enchantments requires dedicated research over several attempts.

The imbue tab applies discovered enchantments to items in one finished operation rather than several steps, and each imbued enchantment uses up the discovered one. Once an enchantment is discovered it stays available for use indefinitely. Costs in levels and lapis rise quickly with the total level of enchantments added, and items that already carry enchantments cost more to enchant further, so stacking is always expensive.

Anvils no longer combine enchantments; that work moves into the table. Anvils still rename and repair items, and repair costs only the expected material plus levels equal to the number of enchantments on the item. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Research enchantments

    Enchanted books and items feed the research tab, which discovers new enchantments instead of rerolling existing ones.

  2. Bookshelf research bonus

    Bookshelves within 3 blocks of the table raise research odds by about 1% each, up to 25%.

  3. One-step imbuing

    The imbue tab applies a discovered enchantment to an item in a single finished operation.

  4. Permanent discoveries

    Once an enchantment is discovered it stays available for use indefinitely, with no further cost to keep it.

  5. Anvil repair and rename

    Anvils keep renaming and repairing, and repair cost depends on the material and the enchantment count.
