Underwater Enchanting

by Serilum

Underwater Enchanting lets the enchantment table work under water, counting bookshelves around it so the maximum levels still apply.

What it does

In vanilla Minecraft an enchantment table placed under water cannot detect the bookshelves around it. The mod changes that, so the table reads nearby bookshelves and sets the enchantment levels according to the usual vanilla rules. Installation needs Collective, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 24 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Underwater bookshelf detection

    Bookshelves placed around an enchantment table under water are detected, which vanilla does not allow.

  2. Maximum levels

    With enough bookshelves around the table, enchantments can reach their maximum levels while submerged.

  3. Vanilla level rules

    Enchantment levels follow the standard vanilla mechanics, so the mod only changes where the table works.
