Mining Master
Mining Master changes ore mining on Forge by adding ten Enchanting Ores that bestow enchantments on tools and armour when mined.
What it does
The mod adds ten new Enchanting Ores to the world. Each ore is most often found in one biome type, such as desert, icy, hilly, jungle, mesa, ocean, swamp, dark forest or forest areas. Mining one and smelting or processing the result grants an item tied to a set of enchantments, for example Flame, Frost Walker, Thorns, Efficiency, Fortune, Aqua Affinity, Smite, Bane of Arthropods or Silk Touch variants. The enchantment is applied through the Smithing Table, and further ores of the same type raise the enchantment level.
The Enchanting Table is not the only path, since several new enchantments cannot be obtained there. A Gem Forge lets players melt down gems and imbue Diamond tools and armour with them. Once Blackstone-level items are available, the mod adds Supra tools built from essence, which are stronger than Diamond and can carry enchantment levels above the usual maximum. The mod runs on Forge and needs both the server and every player to have it, since it is client and server.

What the author says
We've added several new Enchantments that cannot be obtained in an Enchanting Table to flesh out some of these gems more, providing a greater incentive to mine them! Early on, you may find the Smithing Table method of enchanting to be enough. Once you attain Blackstone, though, you can take things to the next level.
