Expanded Crossbow Enchantings
by LuisterCorp
Expanded Crossbow Enchantings adds an expansion enchanting table, so crossbows can take enchantments that the vanilla table does not offer.
What it does
The mod adds an expansion enchanting table that offers crossbow enchantments beyond the vanilla set. The server must run it, while players may add it to use its features on their side, so a player without it can still join. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 16 release versions. The latest build is 1.11.1+mod for 26.2, released 2026-08-04.
The mod is compatible with versions 1.21 and 1.21.11 as noted by the author, and works with enchanting datapacks. Installation is manual: the file has to be unzipped before use. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. It was first published on 2026-02-02 and last updated on 2026-08-04.
