Description

📜 EnchantLimiter

EnchantLimiter is a Forge mod that introduces a point-based enchantment capacity system to Minecraft.
Instead of stacking unlimited enchantments, each item has a limited enchantment point budget, making enchanting more balanced, predictable, and configurable — especially for servers and modpacks.

🔮 How It Works

  • Every item has a maximum enchantment point capacity
  • Each enchantment consumes a configurable number of points per level
  • Enchantments can only be applied while capacity remains
  • Once the limit is reached, no further enchantments can be added

This system encourages meaningful choices instead of infinite enchant stacking.

⚙️ Core Features

✨ Enchantment Point System

  • Fully configurable enchantment point costs
  • Supports negative point costs (e.g. curses that increase capacity)
  • Works consistently across enchanting tables and anvils

⚒️ Improved Anvil Behavior

EnchantLimiter ensures safe and predictable anvil behavior:

  • Enchanted books are partially applied if only limited capacity remains
  • Excess enchantment levels are discarded instead of exceeding the cap
  • Prevents overpowered items and exploit stacking

Example:

  • Sword (0/20) + Book (cost 20) → applied fully
  • Sword (0/20) + Book (cost 30) → trimmed to 20
  • Sword (19/20) + Unbreaking V → only 1 level applied

🔮 Crystal Items (New in 3.0.2)

Version 3.0.2 introduces crystal items that can increase an item’s enchantment point capacity.

Available crystals:

  • Common Crystal → +1 point
  • Uncommon Crystal → +3 points
  • Rare Crystal → +5 points
  • Legendary Crystal → +10 points
  • Fully configurable via server config
  • Can be disabled or blacklisted individually
  • Shaped crafting recipes included

🎨 Creative Tab & Tooltips

  • Added a custom creative tab (Enchantment Table icon)
  • Crystal items are grouped and easy to find

    Enchantment point tooltips are shown only on relevant items:

    • Swords, tools, armor
    • Shield, bow, crossbow, trident
    • Prevents tooltip clutter on unrelated items

🌐 Server-Friendly Configuration

  • All configuration is server-side
  • Clients automatically respect server rules
  • Ideal for multiplayer servers and modpacks

    New crystals config section allows:

    • Enabling/disabling crystals
    • Custom point values
    • Crystal blacklist

🛠️ Stability & Fixes (3.0.2)

This update also improves internal stability:

  • Fixed anvil allowing unlimited enchanted book stacking
  • Prevented enchantments from bypassing capacity via direct enchant calls
  • Removed problematic mixins that caused build or mapping issues
  • Replaced unsafe injections with robust event handling

🎯 Intended Use

EnchantLimiter is ideal for:

  • Server owners who want controlled enchantment power
  • Modpack creators balancing progression
  • Players looking for deeper, rule-based enchanting
