⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Ancient Library
This adds a new block that you can find in Ancient City chests. It has a 12% chance to appear. The object acts like a bookshelf for enchanting, but will fully power an Enchanting Table on its own without the need for extra bookshelfs.
The bookshelf can be mined fast with a pickaxe, but will still drop if mined without a tool.
Extras can be smelted into an Echo Shard.
Has a config file to change the enchanting power of the block.
Works out of the box with Apotheosis, Easy Magic, and Enchanting Infuser. Will probably work with most enchanting mods.
