Quark Ancient Tomes Patch
by accrrsd
Quark Ancient Tomes Patch lets Ancient Tomes raise an enchantment beyond the maximum level set by Quark, and it is a Forge mod for Quark's tome behavior.
What it does
Quark limits how far an Ancient Tome can push an enchantment, allowing only one level above the maximum. This patch removes that restriction by default, so a tome applied to an enchantment can lift it higher, up to three levels past the normal cap, as in Sharpness V to VIII. A simple configuration file controls the limit: a value of 1 restores the original Quark behavior, and 0 disables the change entirely.
The patch works on client and server, so the server and every player need it installed. Quark and Zeta are required dependencies, and the patch changes only the Ancient Tomes settings in Quark. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code published. Files exist for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 on Forge, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.6, published 2025-12-25.

Disable the change
