Over-Enchantment Anvil
by edeipici
Over-Enchantment Anvil lifts the level cap on anvil enchanting, so enchantment books can be applied to tools, weapons and armor at levels above the vanilla maximum.
What it does
Over-Enchantment Anvil is a Fabric mod that lifts the level ceiling on enchantments combined at an anvil, and it does so with a small code footprint. Enchantment levels can stack beyond their normal caps, letting players push a single item further than vanilla allows. The change is made by redirecting the core anvil logic through a Mixin, and nothing else in the game is altered.
Vanilla anvil costs are kept. Experience levels and material use still follow the original rules, so the mod changes only how far enchantments can go, not how expensive it is to get there. Installation needs Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or newer and Fabric API, and the mod is placed in the .minecraft/mods directory. Over-Enchantment Anvil is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source. Files are available for 1.21 – 1.21.11 across 12 release versions, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest.

Over-Enchantment Anvil is server-side only and needs nothing on the client.
