Unlimited Enchantments levels ( configurable )
by Aarya
Unlimited Enchantments levels (configurable) lets the anvil merge enchantments past their vanilla maximum level, and Forge servers can cap the result.
What it does
Stacking works through the normal anvil. Placing an item with an enchantment in the left slot and an identical item or enchanted book carrying the same enchantment and level in the right slot produces a result one level higher, with the XP cost shown before the item is taken. Different levels of the same enchantment merge to the higher one with a bonus, and combining two identical items repairs the item by 12% as in vanilla. The anvil name field still works, and the mod adds no new items, blocks or recipes.
Effects scale with the stored level, so Sharpness VI deals more damage than Sharpness V and Protection VI shields more. Levels above 10 are written in Arabic numerals, for example Sharpness 12, because vanilla Roman numerals stop at X. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Cost limits are set in the config: maxAnvilCost defaults to 39 levels, creative mode ignores the limit, and operators at level 2 can set a maximum per enchantment, where 0 means unlimited.
Key features
Stacked enchantment levels
Identical enchantments merge on the anvil into a higher level, past the vanilla maximum.
Arabic numerals above 10
Levels above 10 display as Arabic numbers, since Roman numerals in vanilla only go up to X.
Capped anvil cost
A configurable maxAnvilCost limits the XP needed for a merge, defaulting to 39 levels.
Per-enchantment maximums
Operators can set the maximum level of each enchantment globally, with 0 meaning unlimited.
