NoMaxEnchant: Customize Anvil Enchantment Level Cap
by DarthJahus
NoMaxEnchant: Customize Anvil Enchantment Level Cap lifts the level ceiling the anvil applies when enchanted books or items are combined, so levels can exceed their vanilla maximum.
What it does
The mod changes only the enchantment level calculation the anvil performs. Repair cost, item naming, experience cost and slot behavior stay as vanilla leaves them. A global cap can be set in the configuration, an optional single ceiling applied to each enchantment once, and individual enchantments can be overridden by their identifier, such as minecraft:sharpness, with the per-enchantment value taking priority over the global cap.
The mod is a Fabric build for 1.21.4 and 26.3, and it runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. Every level is still clamped by a hard ceiling of 255, because the Minecraft engine enforces that limit regardless of configuration. The mod is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with a public source code repository and issue tracker. Files were first published on 2026-08-27 and last updated on 2026-09-24.
Key features
Global enchantment cap
A single level ceiling can be set in the configuration and applied to enchantments once, replacing the vanilla limit.
Per-enchantment overrides
Each enchantment can be given its own maximum by identifier, and that value takes priority over the global cap.
Level 1 enchantments untouched
Enchantments whose maximum is already 1 are left alone, so single-level effects are never uncapped.
Combined books above vanilla maximum
Books and items whose combined level exceeds the vanilla maximum are produced by the anvil up to the hard ceiling of 255.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who want higher enchantment levels from anvil combining and who prefer a configurable cap over removing the limit outright.
How it compares
No Anvil Limit is also a Fabric mod that runs on the server alone, released under the MIT License and open source, with files for 1.21.8 – 26.3. Unlimited Enchantments is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21 – 26.3; the server needs it, while clients may add it, so is needed on the server, with the client optional without the other. Anvil Unlimited targets only 26.2, runs on the server alone, and is not open source; it is licensed as All rights reserved.

What the author says
NoMaxEnchant removes that clamp. Whatever level the anvil calculation would naturally produce is what applies, up to a hard ceiling of 255. The full reference is available on GitHub; complete table of every vanilla enchantment that scales past its normal maximum, with explanations.
