Description

header

It has always annoyed me how minecraft's curses render a piece of equipment virtually useless, and how a fair deal of the regular enchantments are often just objectively the worse option. This pack tries to add function and synergies to curses, and flesh out the existing enchantment roster in a vanilla-like way.

All new enchantments and curses do not render any existing enchantments or vanilla features obsolete, but rather gives them more function. Most are only available through treasures and villager trading, in order to not bloat the enchanting table.

Key features:

  • Curses are now varied, and function more as devil deals too good to pass. They do not follow the regular rules for exclusivity, and are only incompatible with their enchantment counterpart.
  • Full sets of some enchantments now have special bonuses: blast protection, fire protection, or consecration now grants damage immunity. Unbinding causes invisibility upon movement.
  • All enchantments that makes sense could be on mob armour (horse armour, wolf armour, ghast harness) are now available through the anvil.
  • Bane of Arthropods is now only available through villager trading.

Click the appropriate drop down menu for a more in-depth look:

binding

Tethers the item to the corporeal plane, the wearer in particular. Increases max health by 2 hearts per piece worn.

vanishing

Functions as unbreaking III, but stacks with unbreaking. Applied to a golden tool it drastically alters the life span to that of an iron tool.

augmentation

Increases the size, damage, mining speed, stepheight and movement speed by 25% per piece worn. Fall distance doubled, fall damage increased.

Functions as protection III 1/2 per piece worn.

An enchantment left unfinished, it attempts to bind with other enchanted pieces upon touch. Upon use has a 1/100 chance to disenchant 1 level from a random enchantment on the item. Removes anvil cost.
