📋 About This Mod

# Hold Your Enemies Closer This mod adds several "opposite" enchantments that are mutually exclusive with vanilla enchantments. The goal is to add a bit more variation to enchanting, and to experiment with the 1.21+ enchantment rework. As with vanilla enchantments, all enchantments from HYEC can be customized via datapack. An optional datapack that removes the restrictions on enchantment compatibility can be found (https://modrinth.com/datapack/hold_your_enemies_closer_unbound). The mod contains the following enchantments: | Enchantment | Obtainable by | Description | Max Level | Mutually exclusive with | |------------------|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------|-------------------------| | Attraction | Enchanting table, loot, trading | Goes on swords. Applies reverse knockback to hit entities, pulling them towards the attacker. The mod is named after this one. | 2 | Knockback | | Auto-Smelt | Treasure (Bastion Treasure) | Goes on tools. Automatically smelts block drops. | 2 | Fortune, Silk Touch | | Curse of Frailty | Treasure, trading | Goes on any item with durability. Increases durability used by 1 each level. | 3 | Unbreaking | | Frost | Enchanting table, loot, trading | Goes on bows. Adds freezing ticks (just like Powder Snow) to shot entities. Stacks, unlike Flame. Mobs like Blazes take more damage from freezing (this is a vanilla feature). | 1 | Flame | | Frost Protection | Enchanting table, loot, trading | Goes on armor. Reduces freezing damage and freezing time. Having less than or equal to 50% freezing time allows you to walk on Powder Snow. | 1 | Frost | | Pull | Enchanting table, loot, trading | Goes on bows. Applies reverse knockback to entities hit by the arrow, pulling them in the direction opposite of the arrow's velocity. Should work with crossbows if a datapack is used to make them compatible. | 2 | Punch | | Ice Aspect | Enchanting table, loot, trading | Goes on swords. Adds freezing ticks (just like Powder Snow) to hit entities. Stacks, unlike Fire Aspect. Mobs like Blazes take more damage from freezing (this is a vanilla feature). | 2 | Fire Aspect | | Swift Swim | Treasure (Shipwreck, Buried Treasure) | Goes on leggings. Increases the speed at which you move in liquids. Uses a custom attribute on Fabric, `neoforge:swim_speed` on Neoforge. | 3 | Swift Sneak | ## Notes - By necessity, this mod makes it possible for living entities to receive "negative knockback". As far as I know there aren't any situations in the vanilla (or modded for that matter) game where this happens outside my enchantments, but there *are* checks in the vanilla code to ensure positive values. This means there could be unintended side effects, but it's unlikely. - The Auto-Smelt logic intentionally uses the vanilla `minecraft:smelts_loot` enchantment tag, making Fire Aspect also able to smelt block loot. - Frost Walker also now allows entities to walk on Powder Snow. - There is a legacy-forge project in the repo, but it is currently unused and does nothing, I left it in case I or others want to make a Forge release - The 1.21.3 version will not receive updates.
