ReSaplingSlayer
by KalebLangley
With ReSaplingSlayer, a player can use enchantment shears that make leaves drop saplings when right-clicked, and the enchantment comes from loot tables rather than the enchanting table.
What it does
ReSaplingSlayer is a Forge utility that adds an enchantment for shears. A shears item carrying the enchantment destroys leaves on right-click and drops the saplings those leaves would have produced. The enchantment is treasure only, so it cannot be applied at an enchanting table or an anvil and must be found in loot.
The enchantment has a rarity setting, and books carrying it appear in chests and other loot where the mod permits them. A curse option decides whether the enchantment counts as a curse. Its name and the book entries are set in the mod's configuration, and the mod's own listing describes it as an update of the SaplingSlayer mod for Minecraft 1.20.1.
The mod is built for Forge 1.20.1 only, with a single file dated 2024-07-25. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source is public.
