LifeSteal Enchantment
LifeSteal Enchantment adds a sword enchantment that heals the wielder by a share of the damage each successful melee hit deals.
What it does
A weapon carrying the enchantment restores health on a landed hit, and the amount scales with how hard the weapon strikes and with the enchantment level. Level 1 restores 10% of the sword damage, level 2 restores 20% and level 3 restores 30%, so stronger weapons heal more per hit. Different targets give different results: passive mobs such as cows and sheep heal the wielder at twice the normal rate, while hostile mobs such as zombies and skeletons heal at the normal rate. Hits on other players heal 50% less, which limits the effect in PvP.
The enchantment works in single-player and multiplayer, and it is applied to swords. Players on Fabric can use it alongside other combat enchantments such as Sharpness and Unbreaking. Because the mod runs on client and server, the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.21.4 – 26.2, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Healing on successful hits
A melee attack that lands on a target restores health to the attacker, with no effect on a missed swing.
Three enchantment levels
Level 1 restores 10% of sword damage, level 2 restores 20% and level 3 restores 30%.
Target-based healing
Passive mobs give double healing, hostile mobs give normal healing, and other players give 50% less.
Undead targets
Zombies and skeletons count as hostile targets, so the enchantment heals the wielder in fights against undead mobs.

How it compares
Enchantments X is a Fabric mod for 1.21.9 – 26.3 that the server requires, while players may add it, so clients can join without it. Extra Enchants is also a server-side mod, released under the MIT License and covering 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 on Fabric. EmyTools runs on Fabric for 1.19 – 1.19.4 and can be installed on either side. LifeSteal Enchantment differs from these because it needs both the server and every player, and it covers 1.21.4 – 26.2.

Life Steal Enchantment is a powerful combat-focused enchantment that allows players to heal by draining health from their enemies with every successful melee attack. The amount of health restored depends on both the sword’s base damage and the enchantment level, making stronger weapons even more effective with this…
