Overhauled Enchanting
Enchantments now appear as "locked" in the enchantment table, until it's corresponding enchanted book is placed in a nearby Chiseled Bookshelf. Amethyst replaces lapis as the enchanting fuel. The position of the Chiseled Bookshelves is no longer strict. By default, a 10 block radius around the table, allowing for much more creative library building. Decorative bookshelves no longer affect enchanting, but can still look great in your new library :-)
Currently adds 4 new enchantments
Displace (Digging Tools): Breaks effective blocks in a 3x3 area. Excludes ores. Teleports targets randomly on hit.
Skates (Boots): Increases velocity and slipperiness on ice. (configurable to include frost walker)
Shriek (Goat Horn): Lets out a sonically-charged shriek. Spreads skulk on kill.
Return (Goat Horn): Teleport back to a previously set location after 3 seconds. Interrupted by movement or damage taken. Use while crouching to set location.
Other Random Changes
- bookshelves are renamed to decorative bookshelves, while chiseled bookshelves are now just bookshelves.
- both bookshelf types now drop without silk touch. ender chests too
- lapis completely removed from generation as it has no unique function
- gunpowder can be crafted with glowstone dust and coal/charcoal (no looting anymore </3)(i hate meta knowledge based mob farms)
- in creative mode inventory, right click an item with enchanted book to quickly apply enchantment
Planned Additions/Ideas
- maybe more enchantments
- enchanting particles from bookshelves containing enchanted books but im so bad at payloads i just dont understand
FAQ (no one has ever asked these)
Q: Why amethyst? A: amethyst feels like a much more magical material, with more slightly more interesting acquisition mechanics.
Q: why make the player unlock the enchantments? A: personally, having all the enchantments immediately unlocked using Enchancement always felt weird, and while the repair material cost helped delay progress, it felt out of place and made me never want to enchant diamond gear. i also like exploring, but have found there is never any loot actually worth finding. additionally, finding different books in different worlds will make players try out different enchantments/playstyles they usually wouldnt consider.
Most changes are configurable.
feel free to message me on discord if you find any bugs/have any suggestions @taavithetaco
edit: probably wont recieve further updates since the main feature of this mod was added directly into enchancement after 1.21.5. thanks for the support!
