RPG Enchanting

Introduces an alternative/replacement/addition to the traditional enchanting system. It is heavily inspired by the game "Heroes of Hammerwatch 2".

Enchantment limit

Each item can be enchanted with a maximum of 2 enchantments, one "prefix" and one "suffix" enchantment.

Every enchantment is either a prefix or a suffix enchantment.

Tooltip changes

Enchantments are no longer displayed in a list below the item name. Instead the item name is modified.

E.g. an Iron Pickaxe enchanted with Efficiency and Fortune is called "Efficient Iron Pickaxe of Fortune".

(Items can still be renamed, these changes only affect the default name)

RPG Enchanting Table

This new block allows the player to enchant items in a more controlled way. The table will replace exiting enchantments of the same group (prefix or suffix). Only unlocked enchantments are available for the player to choose from.

Unlocking enchantments

Enchantments can be unlocked by three different methods.

1. Advancements

The server config allows pairing advancements to specific enchantments. When the player has the advancement when interacting with the RPG Enchanting Table, the corresponding enchantments of the specified level are unlocked.

1. Surrounding blocks

The server config allows pairing blocks to specific enchantments. When a player interacts with the RPG Enchanting Table, the table searches for these in a configurable radius. When a block from the list is found, the corresponding enchantments of the specified level are unlocked.

1. Enchanted books in Chiseled Bookshelves

When enabled in the server config, the RPG Enchanting Table looks for Chiseled Bookshelves, similar to the second option. When a Chiseled Bookshelf that stores Enchanted Books is found, every of those enchantments is unlocked.

Enchanting cost

Enchanting costs experience and items.

These items are defined in the server config.

Both item and experience cost are higher when an existing enchantment is replaced.

Compatibility with custom enchantments

RPG Enchanting uses the existing enchantment technology, but expects enchantments to be configured a certain way.

Namely, enchantments must be present in one of these enchantment tags: "rpgenchanting:prefix_enchantments" or "rpgenchanting:suffix_enchantments".

RPG Enchanting uses these two enchantment tags for all its logic.

Note that putting an enchantment into both tags at the same time can lead to unexpected behaviour.

Additionally, the same tag needs to be their "exclusive_set". This ensures that only one enchantment from each group can be present on an item.

The enchantment tag that includes an enchantment and the tag defined as the "exclusive_set" should be the same.

The item name additions are controlled by localization keys of these formats:

"rpgenchanting.<namespace>.<id>.<level>.prefix"

"rpgenchanting.<namespace>.<id>.<level>.suffix"

E.g. if the "minecraft:efficiency" enchantment is in the "prefix" tag, the localization keys would look like this:

• "rpgenchanting.minecraft.efficiency.1.prefix"
• "rpgenchanting.minecraft.efficiency.2.prefix"
• "rpgenchanting.minecraft.efficiency.3.prefix"
• "rpgenchanting.minecraft.efficiency.4.prefix"
• "rpgenchanting.minecraft.efficiency.5.prefix"

Built-in data and resource packs

RPG Enchanting comes with several data/resource packs that bring compatibility for vanilla Minecraft and several mods.

• The RPG Series mods by Daedelus
• The More RPG Series mods by Fichte

The mod Patched is required for full functionality.

These packs include the following:

• adding all enchantments to one of these enchantment tags
• each enchantment has a corresponding patch file, that sets the "exclusive_set" to either "#rpgenchanting:prefix_enchantments" or "#rpgenchanting:suffix_enchantments".

Using Patched is not a requirement, the exclusive_set can also be configured the normal way. Using "Patched" ensures compatibility with mods/data packs that modify vanilla enchantments

The resource packs provide the localization for the item name additions.

Customization

These features of RPG Enchanting can also be customized:

• The RPG Enchanting Table spawns particles, exactly like the vanilla Enchanting Table. The blocks that trigger this behaviour are defined in the "rpgenchanting:enchanting_particle_targets" block tag.
• The background sprite of the item cost slot can optionally cycle between two textures. This can be enabled in the client config. The textures are identical by default, but they can be changed with a resource pack.
• The enchantment tooltips can optionally display a description of the enchantment. This can be enabled in the client config. Installing the mod Enchantment Descriptions is recommended.
• The item and experience cost for enchanting can be modified. The equations are as follows:

item_cost = old_enchantment.anvil_cost * old_enchantment.level * serverConfig.old_enchantment_item_cost_multiplier + new_enchantment.anvil_cost * new_enchantment.level * serverConfig.new_enchantment_item_cost_multiplier

experience_cost = old_enchantment.min_cost(depends on old_enchantment.level) * serverConfig.old_enchantment_experience_cost_multiplier + new_enchantment.max_cost(depends on new_enchantment.level) * serverConfig.new_enchantment_experience_cost_multiplier

Technical details

Data component

RPG Enchanting adds the "rpgenchanting:show_enchantment_name_additions" data component. When this component is present on an itemStack, the item name is modified with enchantment pre/suffixes.

The RPG Enchanting Table automatically adds this component to items that it enchants.

Additional modifications

The RPG Enchanting Table uses the vanilla data component to store enchantments on an item. However, it sets the "show_in_tooltip" flag to false. This avoids redundant display of information.

Enchanted items generated by loot tables will be modified in a similar way. This can be disabled in the server config.
