Datapacks can be enabled and disabled in the world creation menu, and after world creation using the /datapack command. You can also install Datapack/Gamerule Menus to configure datapacks with a menu after world creation.

Note: Some modules don't make sense without other modules enabled, these soft dependencies are listed at the start of each module.

Strongly recommend Bookshelf Placement. This module includes advancements to guide you through the reworked enchanting.

The enchanting table now lets you choose individual enchantments. Each enchantment has an xp cost and a required number of books near the table, and costs 1 lapis lazuli.

Enchantments that are not in the table by default can be unlocked by placing enchanted books in nearby bookshelves.

!The enchanting table UI again. A tooltip telling part of an enchantment name and instructions to unlock is displayed for an enchantent option, which is in the enchanting glyphs font.

If you place a grindstone within the bookshelf radius, you can remove enchantments from items onto books. This makes enchanted equipment you find more useful as you can unlock more rare enchantments.

!The enchanting table UI with a book in the secondary slot instead of lapis. The list of enchantments shows only two options with a tooltip saying the enchantment will be removed.

Chiseled bookshelves and lecterns count towards the enchanting table bookshelf count depending on how many books they hold. 3 books = 1 vanilla bookshelf.

Additionally, there is no longer a requirement to have no blocks between the shelf & table, and shelves can be placed in a 7x4x7 area centered on the table (1 below, 2 above).

Mending is removed. Instead, Unbreaking has 5 levels and Unbreaking V makes the tool unbreakable (but you have to work your way there!)

Items in the world that already have Mending don't lose it but it no longer functions.

Recommend Table Rework

Reorganizes enchantments and where they can be acquired so that basic enchantments are readily avaiilable but more important and special ones are harder to get. Enchantments are organized into the following categories:

Common

• The basic enchantments that directly increase the effectiveness of the tool
• In enchanting table by default
• Can be found on random loot
• Can be found on mob equipment

!Enchanting table UI for a sword displaying only sharpness and unbreaking

Uncommon

• More specialized or auxiliary functions
• Can be purchased from villagers
• Can be found on random loot
• Can be found on mob spawn equipment

!A density enchanted book available as a villager trade

Rare

• More unique or magical abilities
• Can be found in specific structure loot
• Can be found on random loot
• Can be found on mob equipment

!A riptide enchanted book in a buried treasure chest

Unique

• Can only be found in specific places (unchanged from vanilla)
  • Soul Speed (Piglin bartering)
  • Swift Sneak (Ancient City loot)
  • Wind Burst (Trial Chamber Ominous Vault)

!An ominous vault dispensing an enchanted book

Additionally, zombies can spawn with iron pickaxes that have the same chance to be enchanted as shovels and swords.

Strongly recommend Table Rework

Enchanted books can no longer be applied to items in the anvil, as chiseled bookshelves are the intended way to use enchanted books. Tools can still be combined.

!Attempting to combine a sword and enchanted book in anvil

Makes more sense with Loot Rework

Mobs that spawn with enchanted equipment are guranteed to drop that equipment (if killed by player/wolf, as in vanilla), allowing you to move those enchantments onto books and apply them to your own gear. Also applies to all tridents.

!A zombie holding an enchanted iron sword

Disabled by default, makes more sense with Loot Rework

Curse enchantments can only be found on mob equipment.
