Inquisitive Enchantment
by packallister
Inquisitive Enchantment gives extra experience from combat, so a fight adds to a player's XP without changing vanilla progression.
What it does
Mobs defeated in combat drop more experience with the mod installed, which speeds up early enchanting for players who find the vanilla XP curve slow. The added experience is limited, so the mod does not replace normal progression. Configuration options control how strong the bonus is, and the mod is designed around vanilla progression rather than new items or systems.
The mod runs on Fabric and needs Fabric API. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 12 release versions, with v1.20.1-1.3b as the latest Fabric file for 1.20.1. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Extra combat experience
Defeated mobs grant additional experience, making each fight contribute more toward the next enchantment.
Limited bonus
The added experience is capped, keeping the vanilla experience curve intact.
Configurable strength
A config option sets how much extra experience combat grants, so server owners can tune the bonus.
Vanilla enchanting
Enchantment access stays within vanilla routes, such as enchanting tables and villager trades.
