EnchantSense
by FronoBear
Hovering over an item in EnchantSense shows which enchantment sets suit it, directly in its tooltip, without leaving the game screen.
What it does
Tooltips for weapons, armor, tools and enchanted books gain a list of optimized enchantment combinations. Pressing Left Shift expands the details, and the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys step through the available sets. Explanations accompany enchanted books, so the effect of each enchantment is clear before it is applied. The mod covers swords, maces, tridents, spears, bows and more.
The information stays inside the tooltip, so no extra screen or command is needed and the interface remains uncluttered. Each armor piece includes four specialized builds, and Elytra Shield is included among the options. The sets are meant for different playstyles and situations rather than a single fixed choice.
EnchantSense is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 only. It runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers do not need it. It is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker publicly available. Fabric Loader 1.21.11 is the loader it targets.
