by Mai_xiyu

ForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.18.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

The enchantments include Night Guide, which grants night vision for 14 seconds when equipped, and Shield Shockwave, which gives a chance that a shield block launches the attacker. Nature's Breath extends underwater breathing and speeds health recovery underwater. Repelling Thorns pushes back an attacker who hits the player, and Frost Thorns adds a Slowness effect to that attacker. Soul Reaping raises attack damage by one point per level as the wearer kills creatures, and Specter Slayer deals extra damage to Wardens scaled to the enchantment level. Equipped items can also resist fatal damage by consuming enchantment experience, and a higher level consumes less experience.

The mod is installed on the server only, so players connect without it. Clients need a resource pack enabled separately to display the enchantments with their normal names. The mod was rewritten after the 1.21 release and already contains 25 enchantments, while the earlier builds offered only 10 types of enchanted book. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with the Forge build for 1.20.1 and the NeoForge build for 1.21.11 as the latest releases.

Key features

  1. Night Guide

    Equipment with this enchantment grants night vision for 14 seconds, and projectiles fired at night home in on entities within 32 blocks.

  2. Specter Slayer

    Adds extra attack damage against Wardens, increasing with the enchantment level.

  3. Soul Reaping

    Each creature killed raises attack damage by one point per level, so the bonus grows with the enchantment.

  4. Shield Shockwave

    Gives a shield a chance to block damage and launch a Warden's sonic attack back at the attacker.

  5. Nature's Breath

    Extends underwater breathing time and speeds health recovery while the player stays underwater.

  6. Repelling Thorns and Frost Thorns

    Damage the attacker and push them away, and Frost Thorns also gives the attacker a Slowness effect.

  7. Experience-based protection

    Equipped items can take a fatal hit by consuming enchantment experience, and higher levels use less experience.
