Enchants and Expeditions

Made as a part of Legacies, aiming to completely reimagine modded Minecraft while upholding these same unique, vanilla-style design principles. If you like Legacies and Legends, I highly recommend you check it out!

Enchants and Expeditions is a comprehensive reimagining of multiple facets of vanilla Minecraft; namely enchanted books, the enchanting table, chiseled bookshelves, anvil repairing and even enchanting itself.

Enchants and Expeditions depends on Chiseled Enchanting, and while not required, it is highly recommended you also install Legacies and Legends for the complete, intended experience.

The Enchanting Table

• now starts with a smaller pool of available enchantments

Chiseled Bookshelves

• placed around the enchanting table. Books within a Chiseled Bookshelf are added to the Enchanting Table's enchantment pool, allowing you to renewably expand and fine-tune the enchantments you'd like to receive

Anvils

• repairs are now free

• you can no longer combine enchanted items or books, as this functionality has been replaced by the updated Enchanting Table and Chiseled Bookshelves

Overhauled Protection and Damage Enchantments

Blast Protection, Fire Protection, Protection, Bane of Arthropods, Smite and Fire Aspect have all been removed. This is due to them being reworked into replacements as shown below.

• Arcane Protection | Gives protection against magical damage, including potion effects and sharpness damage

• Elemental Protection | Gives protection against environmental damage, including fire and freeze

• Physical Protection | Gives protection against physical damage, including standard melee and ranged damage

• Chilled | Attacks provide a chance to freeze an enemy. Deals additional damage against cold-weak mobs such as arthropods

• Smiting | Attacks light targets on fire. Deals additional damage against fire-weak mobs such as the undead

• Sharpness | Damage from sharpness now counts as magical damage, rather than normal damage

Further Enchantment Changes

All enchantments have been rebalanced to either have a maximum level of I or III, to ensure consistency throughout the game. Don't fear! The enchantments themselves have been adjusted to compensate - so they aren't nerfed at max level, eg Sharpness III is as good as the old Sharpness V. Due to this, many enchantments have received smaller tweaks which are not listed below.

• Thorns is now chestplate-exclusive. The enchantment itself now deals more damage per level and deals reduced durability damage to armor to compensate

• Soul Speed is now incompatible with Frost Walker and Depth Strider, and deals less durability damage to your boots

• added the Curse of Fragility. This curse is exclusive to tools, and increases the durability damage taken by the item. Furthermore, the Curse of Fragility is incompatible with the Unbreaking enchantment

New Enchantments

Whilst an optional install, it is intended that you use Legacies and Legends alongside Enchants and Expeditions to experience the full breadth of new enchantments, which are listed below.

• Featherweight - Boomerangs fly further, faster and ramp up damage quicker. Found in Arid Dungeons, exclusive to Boomerangs

• Decay - Boomerangs poison targets when thrown. Found in Deep Dungeons (or Verdant Dungeons when Variants & Ventures is installed), incompatible with Rejuvenate

• Rejuvenate - Boomerangs give regeneration to targets when thrown. Found in Simple Dungeons, exclusive to Crossbows and Boomerangs, incompatible with Decay

• Extraction - grants more experience from mined blocks. Exclusive to Helmets, incompatible with Aqua Affinity

• Freeze - ranged attacks afflict targets with freeze for a short time. Found in Frozen Dungeons, incompatible with Flame

• Striking - increases hit speed and damage against certain passive or neutral mobs, specifically animals with some sort of hide-like skin. Exclusive to Knives, incompatible with other damage enchantments

• Shatter - hits apply Freezing for a short duration. Hitting frozen enemies causes them to shatter, dealing bonus damage. Exclusive to Hooks, incompatible with other damage enchantments

• Tangled - allows you to traverse blocks and similar items which would otherwise slow you down at a faster speed. Found in Jungle Temples, Leggings exclusive, incompatible with Swift Sneak

Reimagined Enchantment Acquisition

With these major reworks to enchanting, enchanted books are now lumped into a few categories. Base enchantment table, villager traded, random loot and treasure. Whilst an optional install, many of the enchantments listed below are added as loot to the enchantment-centric Dungeon overhaul present in Legacies and Legends, and as such it is highly recommended to have it installed for the best experience.

• Base Enchantments | these are always available from the enchantment table. View the full list here

• Villager Traded | these are enchantments which may be traded by villagers. View the full list here

• Random Loot | these enchantments must be found from structures throughout the world. This may either be a specific structure which contains them more commonly, otherwise they have a chance to be found on any random enchanted book or item. View the full list here

• Treasure Enchantments | these are only found from specific structures. Swift Sneak from Ancient Cities, Soul Speed from Bastions, Wind Burst from Trial Chambers, Channeling from Woodland Mansions, Feather Falling from End Cities, etc. View the full list here
