A growing, vanilla-friendly datapack adding new enchantments and content to Minecraft.
Enchantments
| Enchantment | Slot(s) | Applies To | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bulwark | Offhand | Shields | +2 / +4 / +6 armor (levels I–III) |
| Fortify | Chestplate | Chest armor | +2 / +4 / +6 armor (levels I–III) |
| Swift Harness | Any | Harnesses (all colors) | +0.01 / +0.02 / +0.03 flying speed (levels I–III) |
| Ensnare | Mainhand | Pickaxes | Pick up monster spawners as items (level I) |
All enchantments are obtainable through the enchanting table or anvil — no commands required.
Ensnare — pick up monster spawners
Break a monster spawner with a pickaxe enchanted with Ensnare and it drops as an item — fully preserving the spawner's mob type and configuration (spawn delay, spawn count, player range, and more). Place it back down anywhere to restore a working spawner with the exact same setup.
- Breaking a spawner with Silk Touch alone behaves just like vanilla: no special drop, just XP.
- Breaking an empty spawner (no mob configured) with Ensnare also drops only XP, since there's nothing to preserve.
- The dropped item is renamed and labeled to show which mob it contains.
What's Next
Arcane Additions is actively developed — more enchantments and content are planned beyond what's listed here.
