Overview

Vanilla² focuses on adding more Vanilla-style content to the game. Currently vsq overhauls the enchanting system and adds new enchantments. There are also a few other minor features like Sulfur Goo and a rebalance of most weapons, tools and armor.

Features

• Rebalances sword, axe, spear, trident, mace, shield, fishing rod, armor, tool, and weapon behavior.
• Expands armor, protection, magic protection, mace protection, spear protection, and dripstone protection handling beyond vanilla limits.
• Updates combat damage calculations so higher armor and absorb values continue to scale correctly.
• Adds new attributes.
• Changes item durability and combat stats by material for tools, weapons, armor, and fishing rods.
• Changes potion stack sizes.
• Lets fishing rods work as combat tools with hook damage and enchantment integration.
• Lets sword targeting pass through configured blocks such as grass and flowers.
• Improves offhand interaction priority for fishing rod combat cases.

Enchanting overhaul

Vanilla² replaces much of vanilla enchanting with a recipe-based enchantment table and an enchantment recipe book.

• Adds enchanting recipes for vanilla and Vanilla² enchantments.
• Adds enchantment recipe discovery through loot, fishing, piglin bartering, villager librarians, and structure chests.
• Adds an enchanting recipe book UI and server/client synchronization for known recipes and selected recipes.
• Adds enchantment slot categories such as Special, Damage, Secondary, Defense, Utility, and Curse.
• Supports enchantment profiles so an enchantment can have different behavior depending on the selected slot/profile.
• Rebalances almost all vanilla enchantments(+channeling got a rework).

Enchantments

Vanilla² changes many vanilla enchantments and adds new ones.

New enchantments

• Dash - burst forward and dash through enemies in your path.
• Ruthless - greatly increases attack damage but with each hit you also take damage.
