This weeks snapshot is a polishing one, tweaking some enchantments and fixing a lot of critical bugs! You can now also find a new Item called Enchanting Recipes, these new book variants can be found in most structures or traded with by villagers, consuming them grants you the recipe of the enchantment. Which Recipes can be found where, varies between loot table and also between villager trade. Besides that, there are also some new technical capabilities for enchantments. And a bunch of preparation for adding even more enchantments to the game.
Developers Note: from this snapshot onward to the 5th snapshot, there might be a bug that breaks your world, so use these snapshots on worlds you don't care about. It'll be fixed in the 6th snapshot. Also note that items with enchantment slots on them got wiped in this snapshot. But I guess that's the point of snapshots, don't use them on worlds you care about.

So use it at your own risk.

Gameplay Changes

New Enchantment Slot System

Every Item now has Enchantment Slot Types, these Slot Types have a capacity of x enchantments(different depending on the item), they can hold multiple enchantments but not infinite requiring you to think about which enchantments you need and which enchantments you don't need(We also removed a lot of enchantment incompatibilities)! A lot of enchantments have also been replaced, eg: punch is now used for both swords and bows etc.. The slot types are: special(unused rn), damage, defense, secondary, util and curse. Their capacities can vary between 1-4 in all loottables items with enchantment slot types spawn in!

Technical Changes

General Changes

Data Components

vsq:hit_through :

• can now reference both tags and individual items

Enchantments

• added enchantment profiles, this basically means that one enchantment can have different effects depending on the scenario, e.g. what Item its on, etc.
• added "enchantment_slot" field for defining the enchantment slot type this enchantment supports
• a bunch of enchantments have received profiles for fishing rod mechanics

Bugfixes

• fixed vsq-10: annoying warning in logs that doesn't affect anything in-game except for making the mod less clean in the logs.
