Enchanting System Overhaul (ESO)

Completely overhauls the item enchanting system, giving players more control and reducing the impact of randomness

Required installation on both client and server. Fabric version depends on Fabric API. Forge version does not require additional dependencies.

Key Features

The enchanting system now works on a discovery principle. First, you need to find enchanted books and use them with right-click to learn new enchantments (starting from version 1.0.6, this feature can be disabled in settings).

By default, XP costs are eliminated - instead, various items from the vanilla game are used. In versions 1.1.1 and above, recipes using XP can be configured.

After learning an enchantment, you can apply it to items and books. Enchantments on items can be upgraded at the enchanting table at any time. An option for gradual enchantment improvement is also available, requiring obtaining books with higher enchantment levels for further upgrades.

You can apply as many enchantments to an item as allowed by settings, and you don't need to do it all at once. In version 1.2.0, the ability to combine items through an anvil has been restored.

An additional curse amplification feature allows intentionally applying curses to items, which increases the enchantment limit per item.

All enchantment recipes are data-driven and can be customized using datapacks at any time. The materials override feature allows customizing the enchantability of materials or individual items.
