infused books
by phluxjr
Infused Books lets players craft enchanted books from ordinary materials, so enchantments no longer depend on random table rolls or villager trades.
What it does
Each enchantment book is made with a recipe that pairs a book with a material tied to its enchantment, such as a piston for Knockback, a ghast tear for Mending, or an ender pearl with a bottle o' enchanting for a fortune-style enchantment. Recipes are shapeless, so the ingredients may be placed in any slot of the crafting grid, and they follow a simple formula meant to feel thematic and fair.
Higher levels are reached by combining two books of the same level on an anvil, as in vanilla, and each step up costs more through the anvil system, with progressively rarer ingredients keeping progression consistent. The mod does not change the vanilla crafting system, and it is compatible with common recipe viewers. Infused Books requires Fabric API and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.10 only, and the mod runs on the server alone.
Key features
Crafted enchantment books
Enchantment books are crafted from a book plus a themed material, so specific books can be made on demand.
Thematic material recipes
Each enchantment uses ingredients that relate to it, so the recipe for Knockback calls for a piston and Mending for a ghast tear.
Anvil level progression
Two books of the same level combine on an anvil to reach a higher level, with rarer ingredients needed at each step.
Recipe viewer support
Recipes can be looked up in common recipe viewers, so players can check what each book requires.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Survival players and server owners who want enchantment books to come from crafting rather than random rolls or villager trades. Players on Fabric or NeoForge with Fabric API installed on the server can use it.
How it compares
Time Enchants is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that runs on the client and server together, and it is not open source. Over-Enchantment Anvil is Fabric-only, server-side and covers 1.21 – 1.21.11, but it is not open source. Enchanting Templates is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric for 1.21.1 with both sides installed.
