Enchiridion
by Vulpixel
Enchiridion reworks how enchantments are assigned, sorting them into Primary, Secondary and Tertiary categories so each item gets a different kind of bonus.
What it does
Under the mod's categories, enchantments that compete for the same role become mutually exclusive, which reduces stacking of overlapping effects on one item. Primary enchantments change how an item is used, Secondary enchantments add minor new functions, and Tertiary enchantments adjust stats or make an item easier to handle. Curse enchantments form a separate red category. Enchanting table level requirements are lowered and the maximum enchantment levels are changed to 30 and 20, while villagers are reworked to offer a more varied set of enchantments.
The mod also changes the Enchanting Table and Anvil, stacks enchanted books up to 16, lets players level up items that are already enchanted using experience and lapis, and adds new enchantments for gaps that vanilla leaves open. Enchiridion requires Levels with Bookshelves to be installed as well. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21, 1.21.1, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and the mod is open source.
Key features
Three enchantment categories
Primary, Secondary and Tertiary enchantments are marked with yellow, blue and green bookmarks so their role is visible.
Mutually exclusive enchantments
Enchantments in the same category are set against each other, so an item does not pick up overlapping bonuses.
Reworked table and anvil
The table and anvil follow the category system, and the anvil can repair items through Mending.
Enchanted book stacking
Enchanted books stack up to 16 in a single slot, and enchanted items can be leveled up with experience and lapis.
