Mallarad's Enchanting Rework
by Mallarad
Mallarad's Enchanting Rework changes how enchantments are chosen and earned, replacing random rolls with player picks on the enchanting table.
What it does
The rework removes the random chance from enchanting. The enchanting table lists the options that can be applied, and a player selects the one wanted, raising it step by step. Gear that normally needs an anvil, such as shields and elytra, can now be enchanted at the table, and chiseled bookshelves teach treasure enchantments that the table can offer.
Experience comes from more places in the rework. Nearly every block drops experience, certain blocks give bonus amounts, and grindstones refund far more experience when disenchanting, which makes older enchanted items worth finding. Grown crops, amethyst clusters and brushing suspicious blocks also give experience, and a treasure enchantment can be found in desert temples. The mod is inspired by Minecraft Ideas Academy and uses Fabric API.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It is published for Fabric only, for the single version 1.21.11, and the code is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, meaning it is not open source.
Key features
Chosen enchantments
The enchanting table lists available enchantments, and the player picks one and raises it a level at a time.
New experience sources
Most blocks, grown crops, amethyst clusters and brushed suspicious blocks give experience, and some give extra.
Efficiency Surging and Momentum
Surging raises mining speed the longer the same block type is mined. Momentum starts fast and slows, then recovers while mining. The two are mutually exclusive.
Weapon enchantments
Six damage enchantments form a set where only one can be chosen, and weapons gain faster attacks.
