Harder Enchanting
by argun_khan
Harder Enchanting makes enchanting on a server cost more, with a crafted item that adds a 30 experience point bonus to the enchant.
What it does
On a server running Harder Enchanting, the enchanting process asks for more experience, and a crafted enchant item adds a 30 experience point bonus that a player can spend on the enchant. The mod's author describes the goal as making server worlds last longer and feel more engaging, and says it makes levels such as 1, 2 and 3 harder to reach. Fabric is required, and the mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric 1.21.8 under All rights reserved.

What the author says
This mod makes it harder to enchant an item by reducing the bonus 30 experience points you get when enchanting it. If you ask why I made this mod, it is because: Levels like 1-2-3 can be achieved very easily. It is designed to make your servers and worlds longer and more fun. (fabric required)
