Universal Enchants

by Fuzs

Universal Enchants lets enchantments apply to more equipment, such as tridents, crossbows, axes and animal armor, and adjusts several vanilla enchantments.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer required, client optionalMozilla Public License 2.0Open source1.18.2 – 26.3

What it does

Enchantments that vanilla limits to certain items can be applied to axes, tridents, maces, bows and crossbows, as well as to shields. Several enchantments also receive changes, so Infinity stops being limited to one arrow and Looting grants extra experience. Animal armor for horses, wolves and nautilus can take many armor enchantments.

The mod depends on Fabric API on Fabric, Forge Config API Port on Fabric and Puzzles Lib on Fabric and NeoForge, so each of them must be installed alongside it. Only the server needs to run it for the changes to apply, while players may install it as well. It ships optional data packs that can be enabled from the Data Packs screen or with the /datapack command. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering game versions 1.18.2 – 26.3, and the code is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

Key features

  1. Wider enchantment targets

    Many existing enchantments can be applied to more weapons and tools, including bows, crossbows and tridents.

  2. Relaxed incompatibilities

    Combinations such as Infinity with Mending, or multishot with piercing, are allowed by default.

  3. Optional damage stacking

    Sharpness can be set to combine with the smite, bane of arthropods, impaling or breach damage enchantments rather than excluding them.

  4. Optional protection stacking

    Protection can be set to combine with the fire, blast or projectile variants on the same item.

  5. Configurable changes

    Each compatibility change and enchantment adjustment can be enabled, disabled or customized through config files or data packs.

Use cases

Combat-focused builds

Who it’s for: Server owners who want wider enchantment options on their world, and players who run the mod on a server that already has it installed.

How it compares

Full comparison

RemoveEnchantmentIncompatibility is server-side only and released under the MIT License, but it does not add new enchantment targets; it only removes incompatibilities for 1.19.2 – 26.3. Infinities is released under the MIT License and is open source, is Fabric-only and covers 1.17 – 1.21.10, so it does not run on Forge or NeoForge.
