Matrix Enchanting
by spookipup
Matrix Enchanting replaces the vanilla enchanting table with a puzzle-based board, where players place pieces to build enchantments over several sessions.
What it does
Instead of rolling one enchantment at once, the table generates pieces that are placed on a 5x5 board. Pieces can be rotated and fitted, and matching pieces merge to upgrade the enchantments they carry. Lapis and experience feed the process, and bookshelves drive a charge system that gives progression through the table.
A candle placed near the table biases specific enchantment rolls, and different candle colors can boost or dampen particular enchantments. Candle influences are defined in datapacks, so a pack can change them without code. An item that is not finished keeps its pending matrix progress and its tooltip lists the enchantments still to come, so it can be picked up later. A preview of the output appears before the final item is committed. The mod is a Fabric port of the matrix enchanting system from Quark Oddities and works with enchantable items and books. Fabric Loader and Fabric API are required, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
