Enchantments Overful

by JellyJam

Enchantments Overful raises the maximum levels of many vanilla enchantments, so armor, tools and weapons can reach stronger levels than the game normally allows.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.21.2 – 1.21.11

What it does

The mod changes the level caps of existing enchantments rather than adding new ones. Protection, Blast Protection, Fire Protection and Projectile Protection can go above their vanilla maximums, as can Thorns, Unbreaking, Mending and Curse of Binding. Tool enchantments follow the same pattern: Efficiency, Fortune and Silk Touch are raised as well, and the pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe are included in the changes.

Because the caps are raised on the server, the server and its data decide which levels are usable. Only the server has to run the mod; a player can join without installing it, while a client copy is optional for local play. Too Cheap! is an optional dependency that the mod can work with. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and every loader build targets 1.21.2 – 1.21.11 with the latest file for 1.21.11.

Key features

  1. Higher protection caps

    Armor enchantments for protection against general, blast, fire and projectile damage can reach levels above their vanilla maximum.

  2. Stronger Thorns and Unbreaking

    Thorns and Unbreaking are raised above their normal caps, so reflected damage and durability can scale further.

  3. Raised tool enchantments

    Efficiency, Fortune and Silk Touch can go higher than in vanilla, and the change covers pickaxes, axes, shovels and hoes.

  4. Curse and utility changes

    Curse of Binding, Curse of Vanishing and Mending also receive raised maximum levels.
