MEANT TO BE PAIRED WITH Curse Removal

🔮 Unidentified Enchants

Ever found an enchanted item that felt... too predictable?

Unidentified Enchants transforms enchantments into mysterious runic inscriptions that must be deciphered using the Runic Cipher. Loot becomes uncertain, cursed items become dangerous, and every enchanted item becomes something worth inspecting instead of instantly judging.

No more instantly knowing if a chest contains god gear or complete garbage.
Now you have to uncover its secrets. 😈

❤️ Credits

While working on my modpack I had the idea for a system where enchantments are hidden until they are revealed. When I looked to see if something like this already existed, I discovered the mod Unidentified Enchantments.

That mod implements the same core concept and deserves credit for it. Unfortunately, it would not load correctly in my setup, so I wasn’t able to use it.

Because of that, I created Unidentified Enchants as my own implementation of the idea so I could use the mechanic in my pack.

Because my mod implements a similar idea though, I chose a similar name to reflect the concept and acknowledge the original Unidentified Enchantments mod that inspired it.
