Better Enchanted Books
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Better Enchanted Books !
This is a mod that adds a couple of quality of life features into the Vanilla+ experience in Minecraft. It is 100% client sided, so the server doesn't need to have the mod installed for it to work. I'll try to keep everything as customizable as possible.
Features
- Sort the enchantments in a tooltip, you can manually make your desired order or just alphabetically sort it;
- Assign custom colors to each enchantment and those will display in as the color of the strip on Enchanted Books.
- Disable glint on enchanted books (Configurable).
- Show which items each enchantment can be applied to in it's tooltip (Configurable)
Notes:
- Mod Menu is not necessary but recommended and the only way to change any settings ingame.
For dev:
- Edit build.gradle and mod.json to suit your needs.
- The "mixins" object can be removed from mod.json if you do not need to use mixins.
- Please replace all occurences of "modid" with your own mod ID - sometimes, a different string may also suffice.
- Run the following command:
./gradlew idea
