More Vanilla Enchantments Levels (MVEL)

Vanilla enchantments normally stop at a fixed maximum, which leaves older gear weak against late-game mobs in packs with rising difficulty. The mod extends how far existing enchantments go and adds no new enchantment types. Sharpness and Protection scale to level 10, Looting and Fortune to level 7, Unbreaking to level 12 and Depth Strider to level 8. The first level above each vanilla cap is uncommon, and higher levels grow progressively rarer, so the anvil stays a reliable route to the top level.

The mod works alongside Progressive Time Difficulty and was balanced with it in mind. It is installed on the server only, and players join with an unmodified vanilla client. Enchanted books for the new levels appear in the Ingredients creative tab, and the enchanting table's cost formulas are rebalanced for the higher levels. It is published for Fabric and Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 and uses a dual Mixin approach that targets both the base Enchantment class and vanilla subclasses, which keeps it compatible with other mods that change enchantment behavior. The mod is built on Mixins and modifies base game behavior.
