Enchantology updated to Minecraft 1.21.7
- Still compatible with 1.21.5 & 1.21.6.

v1.2.1. April 13th, 2025

Enchantology updated to Minecraft 1.21.5

  - Fixed incorrect armor compatibility.

  - Fixed bug where item modifiers would apply to items without “Quarrying” enchantment.
  - No longer uses item modifiers.
- Added “Frost Trotter” and “Alchemic” to tag “enchantment/on_random_loot”.
Technical Changes:
- Added “fix” functions to repair item components of items impacted by “Quarrying” in v1.2.0.
  - Due to a bug in the prior verison, some items may have received item modifiers which treat that item as a netherite pickaxe. Due to the nature of NBT data, updating to the latest version of Enchantology does not automatically fix this. If only a handful of items are affected, it is recommended you simply spawn new items in. If the issue is more widespread, the function “enchantology:quarrying/fixes/remove_item_modifier” has been added to remove the item modifiers in bulk. Place the affected items in a spruce chest boat and a repeating command block (redstone activated) adjacent to it. In the command block, call the above function using “/function enchantology:quarrying/fixes/remove_item_modifier”. Use a constant redstone signal (e.g., lever) to activate the commmand block and run the function for 2-3 seconds to remove the bug from the items in the chest. Turn off the command block, and remove your items.
