Expanding BetterEnd Infusions Across Your Modpack
BetterEnd reimagines enchanting with its pedestal-based infusion system, a fresh take that moves beyond the standard table. Instead of random rolls, you combine specific ingredients around an infusion pedestal to craft enchantments and unique items. It is a tactile, rewarding mechanic that feels right at home in the End’s mysterious ambiance. But what happens when you add dozens of other mods, each with their own enchanted books and special gear? Without compatibility, those extra enchantments remain locked behind their original acquisition methods, never touching the infusion altar. That is exactly the gap Infusions Extra Compatibility fills, turning the pedestal into a universal crafting station for a vast array of modded enchantments.
What This Datapack Actually Does
At its core, this datapack adds infusion recipes for enchanted books from a long list of supported mods. Instead of hunting for a specific dungeon loot table or rerolling villagers endlessly, you can now craft that level 1 book using materials found throughout your world. The pack also includes recipes for the two vanilla curses (Curse of Vanishing and Curse of Binding) and BetterEnd’s own End Veil, plus a handful of otherwise unobtainable mod items. The smart part: it only loads recipes for the mods you actually have installed. No broken recipes, no clutter. If Farmer’s Delight is present, you get Backstabbing. If Alex’s Mobs is there, you can infuse Returning Board or Lavawaxed. It respects your mod list completely.
Balancing Every Recipe by Hand
One of the biggest pitfalls in cross-mod integration is throwing balance out the window. The creator has carefully tuned each recipe with several factors in mind. For enchantments that are easy to obtain at an enchanting table, the infusion cost reflects that accessibility. For those with multiple levels, the level 1 recipe is deliberately cheaper, encouraging you to combine books to reach the maximum tier rather than skipping progression entirely. Enchantments that normally only appear in dungeons, boss drops, or rare loot require ingredients that demand at least one visit to those areas—think items from specific structures or mobs. This means you still need to explore, but you are no longer at the mercy of RNG for that one elusive book.
If you are juggling many mods and want a smooth installation experience, tools like the foxygame.net launcher can be a real time-saver. It lets you browse and install mods directly from its menu, so adding BetterEnd and this compatibility datapack alongside your favorite content mods becomes a straightforward, modern process.

Viewing Recipes and Modloader Compatibility
Because of how BetterEnd’s infusion works, JEI cannot display the recipes. Instead, you will want to use REI (Roughly Enough Items) to browse all the new infusion possibilities right in your inventory screen. If you are on Forge or NeoForge, you can still use BetterEnd through Sinytra Connector, which allows Fabric mods to run on those loaders. For NeoForge 1.21.1, a small additional fix is needed, but the setup is well documented. This means the datapack is not locked to Fabric alone—you can enjoy it on almost any modern modded environment.
Staying Safe with Official Downloads
A quick but important note: the author distributes this datapack exclusively on Modrinth and CurseForge. Any other website claiming to host it is unofficial and potentially dangerous. Always grab your files from these two platforms to ensure you get the real, unaltered version. The same applies to BetterEnd itself and the other mods you combine it with.
Final Thoughts
BetterEnd’s infusion system already adds a layer of depth to enchanting, but Infusions Extra Compatibility turns it into a central hub for your entire modpack. No more scattered progression paths—every enchanted book from supported mods can be crafted at the pedestal with thoughtfully balanced recipes. The dynamic loading keeps your instance clean, and the sheer number of covered mods means your End dimension becomes a true enchanting nexus. Whether you are building a massive exploration pack or a tight curated experience, this datapack bridges the gap beautifully, making the infusion altar feel complete.
