Hex
by ShyNieke
Hex adds new enchantments to Minecraft, along with a few item behaviors that go with them, and runs on Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Hex introduces additional enchantments into the game. Several of them change how a tool or piece of armor behaves: one tills the ground around water when a player right-clicks, another increases the number of crops a harvest yields, and another keeps an item from reaching zero durability. Repair-related enchantments restore durability by fixed shares depending on light or darkness, and a separate effect works on how the anvil tracks base repair cost once an item has been worked on repeatedly.
Some additions are cosmetic or aimed at specific mobs. An enchantment called Golden Glint and a gold-armor effect can make Piglins treat a player as if wearing gold armor. Another enchantment, Cheap Skate, targets the cost of working on items. Together these entries extend the enchanting system without replacing vanilla mechanics.
The mod is distributed under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and an issue tracker publicly linked. Client and server need the same version to stay in sync, and the files cover Minecraft 1.18.2 – 26.2 across 19 release versions on Forge and NeoForge.
