Enchantment Crafts
Enchantment Crafts is a Minecraft datapack that introduces a structured system for crafting enchanted books through custom recipes. Instead of relying purely on villagers, loot, or random enchantments, this datapack gives players a consistent and progression-based way to obtain enchantments.
Features
- Craft enchanted books using custom recipes
- Full enchantment progression system
- Balanced survival-friendly gameplay
- Supports multiple 1.21.x versions
- Designed to work cleanly with vanilla mechanics
How it works
This datapack replaces the randomness of traditional enchantment acquisition with crafting-based progression. Players unlock enchantments step by step through recipes and can then use them normally with anvils.
Installation
- Download the datapack
- Place it into your world’s datapacks folder:
/saves/<your world>/datapacks/ - Run
/reloadin-game or rejoin your world
