🔧 EnchantOnce — Enchanting & Repair Overhaul

A minimalistic mod that reworks enchanting and repairing: fixed XP costs, enchant extraction, book copying, and full gear duplication — all using vanilla mechanics.

🎯 Who is this mod for?

EnchantOnce is perfect for players who enjoy using enchantments but would prefer to spend less in-game time grinding XP and repeating enchanting rituals. It’s designed for those who value efficiency, clarity, and a smoother experience when working with enchanted gear.


📌 Features

🛠️ Flat Repair Cost

  • Repairing any damaged item always costs 2 experience levels — no matter how many times it's been repaired.
  • The "Too Expensive" limitation is removed entirely.

🔄 Repair with Materials

Repair tools and gear using base materials, instead of combining duplicate items.

Item Repair Material Amount Repaired
Shield Any Planks ½ durability
Shears Iron Ingot Full durability
Bow, Fishing Rod String ¼ durability
Crossbow String ¼ durability
Flint & Steel Flint Full durability
Trident Prismarine Shard ¼ durability
Brush Feather ¼ durability

➡ Only works if the item is damaged. The material is consumed.


📖 Duplicate Enchanted Books

Copy enchanted books using blank books.

  • Place one enchanted book in the left slot and up to 4 normal books in the right.
  • Output: up to 5 copies of the enchanted book (original + up to 4 more).
  • XP cost depends on the enchantments:
    • Calculated from the minimum enchantment cost values.
    • Curses are ignored in the cost.
    • Total cost = (number of new copies) × (combined cost of enchantments).
    • Minimum cost per copy is always 1 level.

This system prevents XP farming via book copying + grindstone trickery.


📚 Extract Enchantments

Move all enchantments from any enchanted item to a single enchanted book.

  • Place the item in the left anvil slot, and a book in the right.
  • The item must be completely intact (no damage).
  • Output is one enchanted book with all enchantments.
  • The item is destroyed in the process.
  • XP cost: 1 level.

🧬 Clone Enchanted Items

Create a perfect duplicate of any enchanted item.

  • Place the enchanted item in the left slot and an unenchanted item of the same type in the right.
  • Both items must be completely intact (no damage).
  • Output: a copy with the same enchantments.
  • XP cost: 25 levels.

✅ Compatibility

  • Compatible with vanilla items and most modded gear that follows NeoForge standards.
  • Fully supports custom items from my The Block of Angel mod.
  • No custom blocks, items, or GUIs — purely vanilla mechanics.

💡 Philosophy

You're not meant to re-grind enchantments forever.
You earned them — keep them. This mod respects your time and your progress.
