Penchant

Datapacks can be enabled and disabled in the world creation menu, and after world creation using the /datapack command. You can also install Datapack/Gamerule Menus to configure datapacks with a menu after world creation.

Note: Some modules don’t make sense without other modules enabled, these soft dependencies are listed at the start of each module.

Strongly recommend Bookshelf Placement. This module includes advancements to guide you through the reworked enchanting.

The enchanting table now lets you choose individual enchantments. Each enchantment has an xp cost and a required number of books near the table, and costs 1 lapis lazuli.

Enchantments that are not in the table by default can be unlocked by placing enchanted books in nearby bookshelves.

If you place a grindstone within the bookshelf radius, you can remove enchantments from items onto books. This makes enchanted equipment you find more useful as you can unlock more rare enchantments.

Chiseled bookshelves and lecterns count towards the enchanting table bookshelf count depending on how many books they hold. 3 books = 1 vanilla bookshelf.

Additionally, there is no longer a requirement to have no blocks between the shelf & table, and shelves can be placed in a 7x4x7 area centered on the table (1 below, 2 above).

Mending is removed. Instead, Unbreaking has 5 levels and Unbreaking V makes the tool unbreakable (but you have to work your way there!)

| Level | Damage chance |
| —– | ————- |
| None | 100% |
| 1 | 100% |
| 2 | 75% |
| 3 | 50% |
| 4 | 25% |
| 5 | 0% (unreakable) |

Items in the world that already have Mending don’t lose it but it no longer functions.

Recommend Table Rework

Reorganizes enchantments and where they can be acquired so that basic enchantments are readily avaiilable but more important and special ones are harder to get. Enchantments are organized into the following categories:

Common

• The basic enchantments that directly increase the effectiveness of the tool
• In enchanting table by default
• Can be found on random loot equipment
• Can be found on traded equipment
• Can be found on mob equipment

Uncommon

• More specialized or auxiliary functions
• Can be purchased from villagers
• Can be found on traded equipment
• Can be found on random loot equipment
• Can be found on random loot books
• Can be found on mob spawn equipment

Rare

• More unique or magical abilities
• Can be found in specific structure loot
• Can be found on random loot equipment
• Can be found on random loot books
• Can be found on mob equipment

Unique

• Can only be found in specific places
• Soul Speed (Piglin bartering)
• Swift Sneak (Ancient City loot)
• Wind Burst (Trial Chamber Ominous Vault)
• Breach (Trial Chamber Vault)

Curse

• All curse enchantments
• Can be found on random loot equipment
• Can be found on mob spawn equipment

Additionally, zombies can spawn with iron pickaxes that have the same chance to be enchanted as shovels and swords.

Strongly recommend Table Rework

Enchanted books can no longer be applied to items in the anvil, as chiseled bookshelves are the intended way to use enchanted books. Tools can still be combined.

Disabled by default, makes more sense with Loot Rework

Mobs that spawn with enchanted equipment are guranteed to drop that equipment (if killed by player/wolf, as in vanilla), allowing you to move those enchantments onto books and apply them to your own gear. Also applies to all tridents.

Disabled by default due to being experimental, makes more sense with Loot Rework

Librarian villagers will sell an enchanted book that is randomized each time you buy it, since duplicate enchanted books aren’t useful.

The trades’ max uses, cost, and xp are adjusted as follows:

| Level | Emerald Cost | Max Uses | Villager XP |
| —– | ———— | ——– | ———– |
| 1 | 15 | 1 | 6 |
| 2 | 18 | 1 | 15 |
| 3 | 20 | 2 | 25 |
| 4 | 24 | 3 | 45 |

Enchiridion

Note: Enchiridion compat is still WIP

You can play with Penchant’s enchanting table or Enchiridion’s enchanting table. If you play with Enchiridion’s, it is recommended to disable leveling up enchantments in the table, as usage should do that.

Modest Magic

Tablet smithing and altar enchanting are modified to only allow enchanting to level 1, since usage is required to level up further. It is recommended to disable most modules since Modest Magic’s system is entirely separate from the enchanting table.

(in no particular order)

• ✔ Data-driven way to override costs & book requirements
• ✔ Configurable levelup cost
• ✔ Datapack documentation
• Categorize some modded enchantments
• Improvements to loot locations
• Enchanted books on lecterns (tentative)
• Way to freeze the level of an enchantment
• More customizability for various parameters
• Level certain enchantments in different ways (distant)
