Useful Enchantments
by milwy
Useful Enchantments adds more than twenty enchantments to NeoForge for 1.21.1, most of them for tools, armor and weapons that vanilla enchanting does not cover.
What it does
The mod keeps its additions close to vanilla Minecraft, so the new enchantments follow the same rules as the existing ones and can be obtained through the enchanting table, villager trades, loot and treasure. A Useful Enchantments Guide book is given to the player on first join, listing each enchantment and where to find it. Optional support for Enchantment Descriptions adds the in-game descriptions for the new entries.
Effects range from mining and movement to combat. Some enchantments smelt ores as they are broken, break a 3x3 area depending on facing, or fell a whole tree from its base block. Others change how the player moves, such as extra jumps, slow falling, or walking across lava on a temporary bridge. Combat enchantments affect knockback, attack speed, Wither duration and bonus experience. The mod is published for NeoForge only, with 1.0.0 as the latest beta file for 1.21.1. It is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved. Both the server and every player need it.
