Penchant

The core feature of Penchant is that all enchantments start off from level one and players must level up their enchantments through usage. Usage means any action that would normally reduce durability, such as mining, attacking, and taking damage (for armor).

You can view a progress bar for each enchantment by holding Left Ctrl (configurable). Once the bar is filled, the enchantment increases by one level and the bar resets, until the enchantment is maxed out.

This means that instead of grinding for a ton of XP and hoping for good RNG, all you need to do to improve your tools is go out and use them, like you were going to do anyway.

The remaining features of Penchant are organized into modules that can be disabled individually per-world via datapacks.

Datapacks can be enabled and disabled in the world creation menu, and after world creation using the `/datapack` command. You can also install (https://modrinth.com/mod/packrule-menus) to configure datapacks with a menu after world creation.

Strongly recommend Bookshelf Placement. This module includes advancements to guide you through the reworked enchanting.

The enchanting table now lets you choose individual enchantments. Each enchantment has an xp cost and a required number of books near the table, and costs 1 lapis lazuli.

Enchantments that are not in the table by default can be unlocked by placing enchanted books in nearby bookshelves.

If you place a grindstone within the bookshelf radius, you can remove enchantments from items onto books. This makes enchanted equipment you find more useful as you can unlock more rare enchantments.

Chiseled bookshelves and lecterns count towards the enchanting table bookshelf count depending on how many books they hold. 3 books = 1 vanilla bookshelf.

Additionally, there is no longer a requirement to have no blocks between the shelf & table, and shelves can be placed in a 7x4x7 area centered on the table (1 below, 2 above).

Mending is removed. Instead, Unbreaking has 5 levels and Unbreaking V makes the tool unbreakable (but you have to work your way there!)
