Enchants and Expeditions
by Rebel459
With Enchants and Expeditions, the enchanting table, anvil, bookshelves and enchanted books are all reworked around a set of enchanting attributes.
What it does
Enchants and Expeditions replaces most of the vanilla enchanting system. Enchanting tables, anvils, bookshelves, enchanted books and the enchantments themselves are changed through a large set of systematic tables. Enchanting attributes, table blessings and enchantment reworks are part of the same overhaul, and the pool of available enchantments can be customised to determine which set an item receives. Items that already carry enchantments can be re-enchanted up to the enchanting limit.
The attributes are grouped into primary and sub-attributes. Classic magic covers enchantments such as sharpness, efficiency and protection; cold magic covers icebound, frostbite and chilled; fire magic covers smiting, flame and blazing. Sub-attributes are linked to themes: mana follows water movement, frost and scorch mix unpredictable elements, and treasure-related sub-attributes cover fortune, looting and luck. Bookshelves slightly raise these attributes, with Arcane, Glacial and Infernal bookshelves each boosting one group. Full details appear in the in-game tooltip of the block.
The mod requires Bookshelves, Cloth Config API, Item Tooltips and Unified API. Enchants and Expeditions runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, covering 1.21 – 26.1.2, and it is released under a custom license that is not open source.
Key features
Reworked enchanting tables
Enchanting tables use attributes, blessings and enchantment reworks to decide which enchantments an item can receive.
Attribute-based enchanting
Primary attributes for classic, cold and fire magic, plus sub-attributes for water, elements and treasure, shape each enchantment.
Bookshelf boosts
Vanilla, Arcane, Glacial and Infernal bookshelves raise specific attribute groups when crafted with the matching materials.
Altar tomes
An altar crafted from deepslate and amethyst accepts tomes in a chosen order, and the tomes shift the enchanting table's results.
