# Forbidden Enchants (Paper 1.21.x) ![NOT AN AI LOGO LOL](https://i.imgur.com/smgJ6H5.png) Forbidden Enchants is a Paper plugin for 1.21.x that adds 82 custom enchants, curses, spell books, and utility effects designed to push survival further than vanilla normally allows. Some are strong, some are disruptive, and some are deliberately unfair, but all of them are meant to create unusual situations, higher-stakes progression, and more server variety. This is not just a pack of extra enchants. It also includes a full set of in-game admin tools for controlling how those enchants are distributed and balanced. With `/fe gui`, `/fe injector gui`, `/fe bundle gui`, `/fe librarian gui`, `/fe enchanting gui`, and `/fe toggles`, you can manage item access, loot injection, bundle drops, villager trades, enchanting-table injection, and per-enchant runtime settings directly in-game without constantly editing config files or restarting the server. If you want a plugin that can make an SMP less predictable while still giving admins direct control over how chaotic it gets, Forbidden Enchants is built for that. ## Features - Fancy `/fe` admin command with help/list output and colored feedback. - `/fe gui` paged creative style inventory menu sorted by enchant type, with quick category filters. - `/fe injector` command suite for structure/vault injection setup (`help`, `status|list`, `enable`, `disable`, `add`, `set|chance`, `remove`, `clear`, `defaultchance|default`, `vault`, `gui|menu`). - `/fe injector gui` visual editor for injector structure lists and per-structure chance tuning. - `/fe bundle` command suite for mob bundle-drop setup (`help`, `status`, `enable`, `disable`, `chance`, `gui|menu`, `clear`). - `/fe bundle gui` visual editor for reward content (enchants, spell potions, general loot), per-mob drop chances, bundle capacity tracking, and extra non-stackable drops. - `/fe librarian` command suite for librarian trade blend setup (`help`, `status|list`, `enable`, `disable`, `add`, `remove`, `clear`, `gui|menu`). - `/fe librarian gui` visual editor with all-book + configured views, per-book chance, and cost tuning. - Librarian blend mode keeps vanilla/datapack trade generation and appends configured forbidden-book offers by per-trade chance. - `/fe enchanting` command suite for enchanting-table injection setup (`help`, `status|list`, `enable`, `disable`, `add`, `remove`, `clear`, `xp`, `gui|menu`). - `/fe enchanting gui` visual editor for book-only enchanting-table injection, per-book chance tuning, and XP-threshold control. - Enchanting-table injector only applies to book enchants when the selected offer cost meets the configured threshold (default `35`). - Enchanting-table power extension supports extra nearby boosters (skeleton skull `+5`, candles `+1`) with a capped `+30` bonus (offer cap `60`). - `/fe toggles` GUI for per-enchant enable/disable controls (usage and chest/vault spawning), with aliases `settings` and `enchanttoggles`. - Generate both enchant books and pre-enchanted gear items directly. - Anvil application flow for helmets, chestplates, and boots. - 82 custom enchants with level support where configured. - Loot-table compatible book detection via `custom_model_data`. - Loot-table compatible gear detection via `custom_model_data` fallback. - Helmet-only balancing rules for the vision enchants. - Mystery book/item generation with obfuscated text (`/fe mysterybook`, `/fe mysteryitem`). - Mystery gear reveals its real enchant when equipped/used. - Optional structure loot injector (config + command + GUI editor) for random forbidden books in selected structures. ## 6 Main GUI Menus This plugin has six main admin GUIs, each for a different workflow: 1. `/fe gui` (Creative-style admin picker) - Purpose: manually give forbidden books/items to players for admin distribution, balancing checks, and testing. - Layout: one enchant type per page (book first, then compatible pre-enchanted items). - Controls: click item to claim;
