Apothic Enchanting

# Description Apothic Enchanting is the Enchanting Module of [Apotheosis](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/apotheosis). It provides a full overhaul to Minecraft's enchanting system, as well as new enchantments and utilities to further improve the experience. # Enchanting Overhaul Apotheosis overhauls Enchanting by adding **Enchanting Stats**. These are special properties provided by bookshelves that change the behavior of the Enchanting Table. There are three primary stats, and a few secondary stats. In addition, the max level of the Enchanting Table is increased to 100, and the max levels of most enchantments are automatically increased. ## Primary Stats While enchanting, the most important stats are: * **Eterna**, a measure of enchanting strength, increasing the level cost; * **Quanta**, a measure of randomness, changing just how much RNG is involved; * and **Arcana**, a measure of mystical quality, which increases the number of enchantments received *and* makes rare enchantments more common. Stats form the basis of a much more involved enchanting system, instead of the set-and-forget enchanting tables of Vanilla. The primary stats are visible in the Enchanting Table's GUI directly, as shown below:  ## Secondary Stats Aside from the primary stats, there are a number of auxiliary stats that change some minor behaviors, or adjust how the primary stats behave. The following secondary stats exist to help you fine-tune your enchanting table: * **Enchanting Clues** change the number of enchantments you are shown when hovering a slot in the Enchanting Table. Typically, more clues are always better. * **Quantic Stability** ensures that **Quanta** will only be beneficial, instead of having a chance to cause negative effects. * **Allowing Treasure** causes treasure enchantments (such as Mending) to show up in the Enchanting Table. Though, be warned, curses are also treasure enchantments! * **Enchantment Filters** allow you to blacklist certain enchantments from the Enchanting Table. Blocks which provide this stat can be used to remove unwanted enchantments from the pool. ## Bookshelves The primary means of acquiring stats is through bookshelves. Each bookshelf placed in a valid bookshelf location will contribute to the Enchanting Table. There are a total of 32 valid bookshelf locations: the ring around the table (including corners) on the same y-level, and one y-level above. There must be an air block in-between the Enchanting Table and the bookshelf to be valid. Other blocks which provide stats (such as skulls or candles) must also be placed in a valid bookshelf location to contribute to the table. Any block that provides enchanting stats will have the stats shown in the item tooltip:   Some blocks may provide stats dynamically, which means the tooltip is not completely accurate. For example, candles can be stacked (up to 4 in a single block space), and provide more Arcana when stacked. Additionally, most blocks will declare a max Eterna value. This is the maximum value that block may contribute to before its Eterna bonus is discarded. This uses a step-ladder system, where lowest-max blocks are counted first, so you do not need to remove your low-max blocks to reach higher levels. For example, if you had 15 bookshelves (which have a max of 30), you would have 30 Eterna. Adding another bookshelf would keep your Eterna at 30, but adding a Hellshelf (max 45) would increase it to 33. There are many different bookshelves in Apotheosis, and getting the right mixture of stats sometimes requires some experimentation. Be sure to explore all of them, and check out the Chronicle of Shadows for more detailed guides on progression.  ## Customization The enchanting stats of any block can be adjusted via datapack. You can also use this functionality to add stats to blocks from other mods. Apothic Enchanting also includes an API, allowing mods to provide dynamic stats for specific blocks as needed. Blocks which do not have specific enchanting stats, but would normally provide enchanting power, will provide the same amount of Eterna as they would normally, with a max of 30. # Enchanting Utilities Apotheosis adds various tools aimed at making the enchanting experience better, giving you more control over how you enchant, and more information when you do. ## Tomes One utility provided by Apotheosis are Tomes. These act similar to a book when being enchanted, but can only receive enchantments for a certain type of item. There are nine tomes in total, one each for helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots, swords, bows, pickaxes, fishing poles, and a final tome that accepts enchantments which do not fit on any of the others. Aside from the enchantable tomes, there are also the Tome of Scrapping (and its upgraded form, the Tome of Extraction). This tome can be used to remove the enchantments from an item, though the process is lossy unless using a Tome of Extraction. The basic Tome of Scrapping will only pull half of the enchantments, and destroy the item. The Tome of Superior Scrapping will pull all the enchantments, but still destroys the item. In contrast, the Tome of Extraction will retrieve all the enchantments and leave the original item intact.  ## Experience Costs Apotheosis normalizes experience costs across the board, for both the Enchanting Table and the Anvil. When working in these crafting stations, only the "true" amount of experience will be deducted, instead of using levels deducted from your current level. This means you no longer need to micromanage your experience to not waste it. ## The Enchantment Library The Library is the ultimate storage solution for Enchantments. Gone are the days of storing enchantments in chests, or cluttering an AE system with a ton of enchanted books. The Library allows you to store all of your enchanted books in one place, search through them, and extract only the ones you need into an enchanted book. The Library uses **Points** as a data storage means, which are the number of "level one equivalents" that make up a given level of an enchantment. For example, a level one enchantment is worth one point, a level two enchantment is worth two points, and a level three enchantment is worth four points (since it takes two level two books to make a level three). The Library can only store so many points, after which it will begin voiding enchantments of that type. To interact with the library, simply insert enchanted books into the blue slot, which will store them. To extract enchantments, left-click on the slot for that particular enchantment. Shift-left-clicking the slot will extract the max available level (based on the number of points stored, and the max known level). The max known level is simply the highest level you have ever inserted for that enchantment. Since the library effectively allows free combination of lower level enchantments, you have to insert higher level ones at least once before you can pull them out. The Library also has a search bar at the top, which allows you to search enchantments by name, and a filter slot in the top right, which allows you to only see enchantments applicable to that item.  # New Enchantments Apotheosis also adds a variety of new enchantments for various tools, aimed at integrating well with vanilla. For information on these, see the Chronicle of Shadows in-game. # Dependencies Apothic Enchanting requires [Placebo](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/placebo) and [Apothic Attributes](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/apothic-attributes).
