Enchanting Books
What is it?
It adds extra tiers of books and bookshelves to minecraft!
What does that mean?
The Books (Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite) have a higher enchantability which means that you have a higher chance to get a better enchant on your item!
The Bookshelves (Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite) have a higher enchanting power which means that you require less of them to reach the maximum level of enchanting!
Known Issues
- Does not support 1.16.3 or lower
- Mods that have custom enchanting tables or anvils may not work with it or mods that modify the normal anvil or enchanting table may cause this to not work. Easy Magic is a known example of this, this is not Easy Magic nor Enchanting Books fault, simply a limitation of the implementation.
