📋 About This Mod
# **Improved Enchanting** ## Overview This mod adds some new enchantments and makes them easier to understand by putting them into seperate exlusive categories, and makes less used enchantments more viable than they were before. Definitive Eddition V2.0 is OUT, and available for the latest version of the game (1.21.11), adding Elytra, Axe, and Crossbow Enchantment upgrades. I will work on making it available for the next update, and updates to come. ### Enchantment Exlusivity Rules For all enchantments, there are 4 tiers of enchantments ("other" is not affected), primary, which is affecting all things within its perameters, secondary affects a large group of entities, like all undead mobs, the tertiary enchantments affect smaller groups of entites, like all raiders or bosses. Special is a passive ability that affects how you use the weapon, it is probally the most important enchantment of them all. Each enchantment tier is exlusive to itself, for example you can't have 2 primary enchantments, but you can have 1 primary enchantment and 1 secondary, you have to chose between the enchantments in each level. # Armor Enchantments <details> <summary>Primary Armor Enchantments</summary> ## Primary Armor Enchantments This level incldes the enchantment, protection with a few tweaks and a new enchantment, reinforced. <details> <summary>Protection</summary> ### Protection This enchantment has gone through some tweaking, it only has half the normal protection that it would normally give, and is only found in the enchanting table.
