Meridian - Enchanting Overhaul
by rfizzle
Meridian replaces the single-stat enchanting table of Minecraft 1.21.1 Fabric with a five-axis progression system and adds 146 original enchantments.
What it does
In vanilla, the enchanting table's power comes from bookshelves placed around it. Meridian removes that single-stat link. Five independent stats are contributed by blocks placed around the table, so building an enchanting setup becomes a question of which stats to push and how far, not of stacking fifteen bookshelves. A ground-up rewrite of the system handles the rolls, and anvil upgrades and salvage tomes are included.
Shelf blocks are organized into progression tiers themed around Minecraft's biomes: starter shelves crafted from stone and renewable resources, nether shelves with escalating Eterna, ocean shelves that boost Arcana, end shelves with the highest Eterna values, and deep dark shelves infused with sculk that can drop a Shrieker. The enchantment feature can be configured individually through Mod Menu. Meridian requires Fabric API and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files target Minecraft 1.21.1 with Fabric loader 0.16.10 or newer; the code is released under the MIT License.

Managing collected enchantments
Salvage tomes and libraries help store and reuse enchantments found during play.
Who it’s for: Players who want a deeper enchanting system on Fabric, and server owners who want to tune the 146 enchantments and shelf progression for their world.
How it compares
Enchanting Templates is also Fabric and client and server, released under the MIT License, but only for 1.21.1. Classic Enchanting is open source under the MIT License and targets 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 as a server-required mod that clients may skip.
