More Enchantments: Expanding Minecraft's Enchanting System
Vanilla Minecraft offers a solid selection of enchantments, but seasoned players often crave more variety. The More Enchantments mod delivers exactly that, adding a wealth of new enchantments that cover everything from armor and tools to the often-underused elytra. Whether you want to boost your defense, move faster, or mine smarter, this mod injects fresh strategic depth into your enchanting table sessions.
What Does More Enchantments Add?
This Forge mod introduces over a dozen new enchantments, each designed to fit naturally alongside vanilla ones. You can apply them using an enchanting table, anvil, or even find them as treasure. The mod pays special attention to elytra flight, turning your wings into a customizable mobility tool. Below, we break down every enchantment by category.
Installing More Enchantments
The mod is built for Minecraft Forge and supports versions 1.16.3 through 1.16.5, as well as 1.19.2, 1.19.4, and 1.20.1. Getting the mod is straightforward. While you can manually download it from CurseForge, many players find it even easier to install through the foxygame.net launcher, a flexible and modern Minecraft launcher that lets you browse and add mods directly from its built-in menu. Once installed, simply load your world and start enchanting as usual.
Armor and Defense Enchantments
- Armoring – Increases the defense points provided by your armor, making every piece tougher.
- Steeliness – Boosts armor toughness, reducing the impact of high-damage hits.
Movement and Mobility
- Agility – Permanently raises your movement speed while equipped.
- Leaping – Increases jump height and softens your landing by decreasing fall speed.
- Sturdiness – Grants extra knockback resistance, keeping you steady in combat.
Combat and Utility
- Furor – Speeds up your swing speed, perfect for rapid attacks.
- Range – Extends your reach distance when using tools or weapons, giving you a subtle edge.
Mining and Resource Gathering
- Compression – Adds a chance to receive diamond resources when mining coal ore.
- Chrysopoeia – Gives a chance to obtain golden resources from iron ore, turning common finds into treasure.
- Metallurgy – Automatically smelts metal ores as you mine them, saving furnace time.
- Wisdom – Increases the experience you gain from mining, speeding up your leveling.
Elytra Enchantments – Taking Flight Further
The elytra gets the most love in this mod, with a suite of enchantments that transform how you glide and soar.
- Gliding – Improves flight efficiency, letting you stay airborne longer.
- Ender Gliding – Further boosts flight efficiency specifically in the End dimension.
- Ascending – Press your Action Key (default G) to lift straight up from the ground without needing a firework.
- Descending – Makes landing with an elytra much safer, reducing fall damage.
- Winging – Automatically deploys your elytra when you fall, saving you from accidental drops.
- Iron Wings – Grants defense points while wearing the elytra, giving you armor-like protection.
- Leaden Wings – Provides defense points only when you are not actively flying.
- Beat Of Wings – Press the Action Key mid-air to flap, giving you a burst of lift without fireworks.
- Gust Of Wind – Activate mid-air to dramatically increase your flight speed for a short time.
Durability and Item Longevity
- Indestructibility – A rare treasure enchantment that makes an item completely immune to durability loss. Cannot be traded.
- Reparation – Slowly repairs the item over time, similar to a passive mending effect.
- Restoration – When the item would break, it instead survives and loses one level of this enchantment. A true lifesaver for your favorite gear.
Compatibility and Mod Support
More Enchantments plays nicely with several popular utility mods. It fully supports JEI Enchantment Info and Enchantment Descriptions, so you can view enchantment details right in your inventory. It also works with CoFH Core. To get the most out of Armoring and Steeliness, consider adding Overloaded Armor Bar and Armor Toughness Bar — they visually display the extra stats. If you run other mods that modify the same player attributes, using Attribute Fix prevents stacking issues.
For modpack makers, you can add custom ores to the mod’s tags (forge:ores/metal, forge:ores/coal, forge:ores/iron) to make them compatible with Metallurgy, Compression, and Chrysopoeia. Older versions (1.3.1 and below) included a config file that allowed fine-tuning enchantment values, though that feature was discontinued in 1.4.0 due to plugin issues. The mod also once supported multiple languages, including German, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, and Portuguese, thanks to community translators.
Why You Should Try More Enchantments
More Enchantments doesn't just pile on overpowered bonuses — it thoughtfully expands the enchanting system with creative, balanced options. The elytra enchantments alone make exploration feel fresh, while mining perks reward you for digging in clever new ways. Combined with its strong compatibility and easy installation via launchers like foxygame.net, this mod is a seamless addition to any Forge-based modpack. Whether you're a builder, adventurer, or redstone engineer, these enchantments give you more ways to tailor your gear to your playstyle.
