UnsafeEnchantmentTable adds a new enchanting system that allows you to add unsafe enchantments (higher level than Minecraft's cap) through the enchantment table.
Features
- Every enchantment can be customized, down to each level's chances
- Curses can now appear in the enchantment table (togglable)
- Explosion chance during an unsafe enchantment (customizable)
- New enchantment book (Unsafe Enchants 1-3) to enable the system (toggleable)
Basic Setup
Spoiler: Unsafe Enchant Book
Unsafe Enchant
Before we begin enchanting, we need to create a new enchanted book called "Unsafe Enchants". This book can go from levels 1-3.
NOTE: This step can be disabled in the config by setting "simpleSystem" to true.
Crafting
In order to craft the book, you must combine any enchanted book with a netherite ingot in an anvil, like so:
The more valuable the enchanted book you supply, the higher the Unsafe Enchant level will be. Each level will significantly damage the anvil.
Inner Mechanics
The Unsafe Enchant level is determined by the sum of the enchantment levels in the supplied book.
The levels are:
Unsafe Enchants I - Sum between 1-5
Unsafe Enchants II - Sum between 5-9
Unsafe Enchants III - Sum 10+
For example, if you use an enchanted book with Sharpness 4, Unbreaking 1, and Protection 3 on it, you will get Unsafe Enchants II. (4+1+3 = 8)

Spoiler: Enchantment Table Setup
Basic Enchantment Table
To begin, build the normal enchantment table setup you would normally. This is mine:
Note: The bookshelves do NOT need to be in any specific pattern, just make sure you have the normal 15 bookshelves activated for a normal enchantment room
Upgraded Table
Next, in order to upgrade the enchantment system to allow for unsafe enchants, you must put a beacon UNDER the enchantment table, and a lectern somewhere within 3 blocks (customizable)
Like this:
Activation
Now simply place your Unsafe Enchants book in the lectern!
If everything worked, you should see the animation like above (as well as a bunch of ominous noises). However, if you missed a step, the lectern will play a negative noise to indicate an unsuccessful creation.
Done
You're ready to enchant! Based on the Unsafe Enchant book you put in the lectern, you can get higher levels and more enchants per item! But beware, the higher the Unsafe Enchant, the more likely negative events will occur.

Spoiler: Other Features
NOTE: All of these features are customizable in the config. Each is based on the Unsafe Enchants level. The higher the level, the more likely these features are.
Book Consumption
Unsafely enchanting can consume the bookshelves around the table. The higher the level, the more books will be consumed.
This is what it looks like when books have been consumed:
Curses
Curses can now be added in the enchantment table! There's only a small chance, though (customizable). Curses can only be applied IF an unsafe enchant was added.
Explosion
There's a very low chance (customizable) that unsafely enchanting will cause a small explosion (it is an unsafe process, after all). The explosion intensity is correlated with the Unsafe Enchants level.
No picture, I'll let you experience that on your own
