Nadir
by kohara
Nadir replaces the vanilla enchanting table interface with a menu-free system, where a placed table is configured by right-clicking it and rebalances most Minecraft enchantments.
What it does
Right-clicking a newly placed Enchanting Table opens a new menu in place of the usual enchanting screen. From there the table's owner chooses whether enchanting items dismantle the table, and only the owner can dismantle it, which helps with claim plugins on multiplayer servers. Four new variables, Eterna, Quanta, Arcana and Rectification, shape the outcome shown at the top of the menu.
Eterna raises the enchanting level directly: 15 Eterna allows level 30 and 30 allows level 60. Chaos adds or subtracts up to half the level, while Quanta sets the amplification range, with 50 Quanta meaning -25% to +25%. Arcana gives a chance to roll enchantments twice, and Zen reduces Quanta's reduction potential. Nadir also rebalances most vanilla enchantments and adds some new ones.
Nadir runs on the server, so server owners install it, while players may add it for the new menu. It is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, for Minecraft 1.21 only, and is also available as a data pack. The mod is not open source; its code is under All rights reserved, and public links exist for the source code and issue tracker.
