I don't know my version or loader
Enchantment Lore
Open enchanted books like written books to read their description and lore.
Works client-side, server-side and in single player.
It needn't be installed on both client and server.
tinytransfem has also created a Forge port.
With this mod you'll be able to open and read enchanted books.
For each enchantment in the book, there will be some lore and a description of how the enchantment works.
Mod integrations
Enchantment Lore version 1.2.4+ adds descriptions for enchantments from:
• Charm
These are from More Enchantment Descriptions (for Enchantment Lore) by TeaJ4y. The resource pack can still add these descriptions to older versions of the mod.
Lore and description entries can be added or changed using resource packs, learn how on the wiki.
I've made a few very basic ones that can be found here.
If you create and publish a resource pack that adds or modifies enchantment descriptions, feel free to message me and I'll add a link to it here.

• thecatcore, Patbox, and all the contributors to Server-Translations, which makes the server-side functionality of Enchantment Lore possible!
This mod is only for Fabric (works on Quilt, too!) and I won't be porting it to Forge. The license is MIT, however, so anyone else is free to port it. and tinytransfem has ported it to Forge!
I'd appreciate links back to this page if you port or otherwise modify this project, but links aren't required.
