No Lapis Lazuli
No Lapis Lazuli removes the requirement for Lapis Lazuli in the enchanting table, so each enchantment is paid for with experience levels alone.
What it does
Normally an enchantment costs Lapis Lazuli as well as levels, and that item has to be placed in the second slot of the enchanting table. With this mod installed, the enchanting process completes once the item sits in the enchanted slot and the player has enough experience levels, and the Lapis slot can stay empty. Enchantments still show in the table as they normally do, and experience is spent the same way as before.
The mod is a lightweight functional change to the enchanting table that aims to simplify the upgrade process, restoring a classic crafting feel with a cheaper cost. Players who already hold Lapis Lazuli can keep placing it, and the mod still accepts it. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 only, with 0.1.6.6 as the latest file on both loaders.
Key features
Experience-only enchanting
Enchantments complete from experience levels alone, with no Lapis Lazuli consumed from the inventory.
Empty second slot
The Lapis slot can stay empty while the enchanted item is placed directly in the subsequent slots.
Vanilla enchantment display
The enchanting table still lists available enchantments and their costs in the usual way.
Optional Lapis use
Lapis Lazuli placed in the second slot is still accepted, so regular enchanting continues to consume it as before.
