Additional Enchants
Enchanting in Minecraft is a core part of progression, but after a while the standard set of enchantments can feel limiting. Additional Enchants is a mod that expands the enchanting system with a wide range of new enchantments and utility books, all while keeping the vanilla aesthetic and balance intact. Whether you want passive regeneration while swimming, a chance to turn mobs into spawn eggs, or a way to break curses, this mod has something for every playstyle.
What Additional Enchants Adds to Minecraft
The mod introduces a variety of enchantments that can be applied to armor, tools, and weapons, plus several crafted books with unique right-click abilities. It is designed to feel like a natural extension of the base game rather than a complete overhaul, so it fits well into both modded and lightly modded worlds.
Armor and Utility Enchantments
- Healing Waters (Leggings): Grants a regeneration effect while submerged in water or during rain if you are damaged.
- Escape (Leggings): Gives a burst of speed when you are attacked, helping you reposition in combat.
- Cure (Helmet): Removes negative potion effects as they are applied, including Bad Omen.
- Safe Guard (Shields): Provides a chance to block damage even when you are not actively blocking, scaling with enchantment level.
- Rebirth (Curse, Chestplate): Protects you from a single lethal hit, but only once.
Tool and Weapon Enchantments
- Super Mining (Pickaxe/Shovel): Mines a 3x3 area, though it is incompatible with Silk Touch and Fortune.
- Trick or Treat (Weapons): Has a chance to drop a trick or a treat when you kill a monster mob.
- Golden Touch (Weapons): Certain mobs can drop golden versions of their loot, which can be smelted or crafted into useful items.
- Hidden Blade (Weapons): Grants a strong Strength effect while you are invisible.
Crafted Books and Special Abilities
Additional Enchants also adds several crafted books that offer unique interactions. The Heat book can be placed in any fuel-consuming block to provide permanent fuel until removed. Dye-orama lets you convert dye colors by crafting the book with any dye. Disenchant turns all enchantments on an item into enchanted books when used from the off-hand, while the Curse Breaker Tome destroys curses on an item. Unmaking can turn vanilla mobs into spawn eggs, and Transmutation Recipes let you right-click specific items on a bookshelf to acquire enchantments like Protection, Respiration, Lure, and more.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Additional Enchants is available for multiple Minecraft versions, with support focused on the most recent releases. It is built using MCreator and works with both Forge and Fabric loaders, depending on the version you choose. Keep in mind that new enchantments may not be added to older versions of the mod, as the developer does not maintain continued support for every Minecraft version. Always check the mod page for the exact version compatibility before you download Additional Enchants.
If you want a smoother setup process, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install option that automatically places Additional Enchants into your mods folder with the correct loader version, saving you the hassle of manual file management.
How to Install Additional Enchants
Installing the mod is straightforward if you already have a mod loader set up. Here is how to install Additional Enchants for Minecraft:
- Make sure you have Forge or Fabric installed for your chosen Minecraft version.
- Download Additional Enchants from the official mod page.
- Place the downloaded .jar file into your mods folder.
- Launch Minecraft using your modded profile.
- Use JEI or a similar recipe viewer to see crafting recipes for the new books.
It is recommended to use JEI to display recipes for crafted books, as some of the transmutation and crafting recipes are not obvious from the base game alone.
Tips and Compatibility Notes
Unmaking only works on vanilla mobs, so using it on modded creatures may produce unexpected results. Curse Breaker and Disenchant also only work with vanilla curses and enchantments. The mod can be used in modpacks as long as credit is given, but it should not be redistributed on other websites. Since this is a solo project, bugs and issues may occasionally slip through, so reporting them in the comments helps improve future updates.
Final Thoughts
Additional Enchants is a solid choice for players who want more depth in Minecraft's enchanting system without straying too far from the vanilla experience. With armor, weapon, and utility enchantments plus unique crafted books, it adds meaningful options for combat, exploration, and resource management. If you are looking to freshen up your enchanting routine, this mod is worth trying.
