Expanded Enchants
by voided_0
Expanded Enchants raises the level caps of vanilla enchantments such as Sharpness, Protection and Efficiency, so tools, weapons and armor can carry stronger versions of them.
What it does
Many vanilla enchantments normally stop at a fixed maximum level. In Expanded Enchants they continue past that cap, so Sharpness can climb beyond Sharpness V toward Sharpness X. The mod keeps the existing enchanting system and its familiar feel rather than replacing it, and the expanded levels are added on top of what the game already does.
The expanded enchantments can be obtained in several ways: from the enchantment table, in enchanted books found in loot chests across the world, from librarian villagers, and by combining books on an anvil. They also appear in the creative inventory for testing in custom worlds. Higher levels are harder to obtain, which is meant to make the stronger results feel more rewarding over a long progression. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, all for 26.1.2, under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.
