Apollo's Enchantment Rebalance

# Apollo's Enchantment Rebalance (AER) This experimental mod is designed to alter and address issues with Minecraft's enchantment system. The enchanting system is flawed, but I do not believe its core mechanics are unsalvageable. The goal of AER is to improve the enchanting experience while being **minimally destructive**. Only a handful of enchantments were either removed or entirely rebuilt with new names. ## Important Notes This mod is **incomplete**! I still have changes and additions I plan to make, so this is by no means a finished product. It will likely remain in beta until at least the release of 1.22. ## Core Changes <details> <summary>Anvils</summary> Repair costs have been greatly simplified. - Renaming and repairing items is free. - Enchanting an item with a normal enchantment costs 3 levels for each enchantment level added. Some examples of costs with this system: - Unenchanted sword + Sharpness 2 book would cost 6 levels (Sharpness 0 -> 2). - Efficiency 2 pickaxe + Efficiency 2 book would cost 3 levels (Efficiency 2 -> 3). - Enchanting an item with a treasure enchantment costs 15 levels. - The invisible `repair_cost` data on items that made repairing/enchanting them more expensive in the future is no longer used. </details> <details> <summary>Grindstones</summary> Across the board, grindstones give more XP for disenchanting items. Treasure enchantments now give a lot of bonus XP, making them useful to save up if you need a lot of XP in a pinch. </details> <details> <summary>Enchanted Books</summary> All enchantments on books have icons indicating what gear the enchantment can be applied to. For example, the Feather Falling enchantment uses a boots icon. - If the enchantment applies to multiple types of gear, it cycles through the icons one at a time. - If the enchantment applies to most gear/items like Unbreaking and Curse of Vanishing, it uses a book icon instead. Enchanted books now stack to 16. </details> <details> <summary>Enchantment Levels & Incompatibilities</summary> The max level of each enchantment in vanilla is arbitrary and confusing to remember. AER simplifies this by making curses and treasure enchantments cap at 1 level and all other enchantments cap at 3 levels. Numerous enchantments have been altered to work with the 3-level max structure. (*In the future, there may be some rare item/mechanic allowing you to unlock a level 4 enchantments. No promises, though.*) In addition to this, the incompatibility mechanic has been modified. - There are **no** incompatibilities between non-treasure enchantments. - Only one treasure enchantment can be applied on an item. </details> <details> <summary>Treasure Enchantments</summary> Treasure enchantments now have a gold color! :3 </details> ## Gear Changes These changes are relatively small and meant to supplement the enchanting changes. <details> <summary>Changes</summary> - Golden tool durability increased from 32 to 120. - Trident durability increased from 250 to 500. - Horse armor has durability. - Maces disable shields. - Base shield downtime reduced from 5 to 1.5 seconds. - Tridents have unlimited piercing through mobs. </details> ## Individual Enchantment Changes There's a lot of changes to get into. Every enchantment with a ⭐ next to it is a treasure enchantment, being limited to 1 level and not being acquirable via the enchanting table. </details> <details> <summary>Aqua Affinity</summary> - Merged with Respiration. - Each level increases submerged mining speed by 200%, with the max level being stronger than vanilla Aqua Affinity 1. </details> <details> <summary>Bane of Arthropods</summary> - Renamed to **Exterminator**. - Removed original effect of increasing damage and applying effects to arthropods. - When a mob is killed with Exterminator, nearby mobs of the same type get a short Slowness and Weakness effect, making them easier to attack. </details> <details> <summary>Blast Protection</summary> - Damage protection from explosions per level increased from 8% to 12%. </details> <details> <summary>Breach</summary> - Applicable to axes. - Removed original effect of bypassing `15% * level` of armor. - The victim's shield downtime is increased by `1 * level` seconds. </details> <details> <summary>Channeling ⭐</summary> - Effects apply in rain, not just thunderstorms. </details> <details> <summary>Depth Strider ⭐</summary> - Applicable only to leggings. - Water movement speed is only 90% as efficient as vanilla's Depth Strider 3. - Movement speed in fluids when travelling up/down without swimming significantly increased. </details> <details> <summary>Efficiency</summary> - Mining efficiency values adjusted to account for lower max level of 3. Efficiency 3 is equivalent to vanilla's Efficiency 5. </details> <details> <summary>Feather Falling</summary> - Prevents trampling of crops when jumping on them. </details> <details> <summary>Fire Aspect</summary> - Time victim i
