Lets you apply enchantments to entities based on their current status effects. The enchantments to apply are determined by mob_effect tags.
Usage
Add tags via data pack at data/minecraft/tags/mob_effect/.
Example
data/minecraft/tags/mob_effect/gives_respiration.json:
{
"replace": true,
"values": [
"spectral_seas:amphibious"
]
}
Add mappings to the configuration:

The resulting enchant_faker.json5 config file:
{
// Tag To Enchantment Mappings
"tagConfig": [
{
"tag": "gives_respiration",
"enchantment": "minecraft:respiration",
"level": 3
}
]
}
Now, whenever an entity has the spectral_seas:amphibious effect, they will also get the Respiration III
enchantment as if they were wearing a helmet enchanted with it.
You will need to restart Minecraft after any config changes.
