How to enchant ?

Two new blocks have been added to: the Enchantment Infusion Table and the Enchantment Infusion Pedestal. Use item to right-click them to put it in, and empty-handed right-click to remove item from them.

You need to place an enchantment infusion table (centre position) and enchantment infusion pedestals (surrounding position) like the picture below, then place the corresponding items on the pedestals according to the recipe (the order doesn't matter), and finally place the item you want to enchant on the infusion table in the centre, and wait for seconds for it to finish enchanting.

Crafting Recipes

🪚Recipe

When adding or changing recipes through a data pack, use the directory for your Minecraft version:

• 1.20.1: data/<namespace>/recipes/<recipe_name>.json
• 1.21.1: data/<namespace>/recipe/<recipe_name>.json

The enchantment infusion recipe below works in both versions. Simple infusion uses a different output item format in each version.

Enchantment Infusion

This mod adds a recipe type (enchantment_infusion:enchantment_infusion). The JSON file for a single recipe is as follows:

{
  "type": "enchantment_infusion:enchantment_infusion",
  "enchantment": "minecraft:efficiency",
  "force": false,
  "ingredients": [
    {
      "item": "minecraft:redstone_block"
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:redstone_block"
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:diamond_pickaxe"
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:diamond_shovel"
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:amethyst_shard"
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:amethyst_shard"
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:lapis_block"
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:lapis_block"
    }
  ],
  "input": {
    "enchantment": "minecraft:efficiency",
    "min_level": 4
  },
  "level": 5
}

Field	Required	Description
type	Required	specify the recipe type as enchantment infusion
enchantment	Required	the identifier of the target enchantment
level	Required	the level of the target enchantment
ingredients	Required	1–8 recipe ingredients; the order does not matter (this is a shapeless recipe)
input	Optional	the existing enchantment needed, will be consumed when infused
force	Optional	whether to ignore enchantment compatibility and force a match for the item to be enchanted, defaults to false

Default Recipes

This mod adds some default recipes that are derived from Ars Nouveau, but use vanilla items instead of those in Ars Nouveau:

Original Item	Replacement
Source Gem	Amethyst Shard
Water Essence	Water Bucket
Air Essence	Phantom Membrane
Fire Essence	Fire Charge
Abjuration Essence	Golden Apple
Earth Essence	Leaves
Manipulation Essence	Clock
Wilden Spike	Sweet Berries

Simple Infusion

Simple infusion (enchantment_infusion:simple_infusion) uses the pedestal ingredients to turn the central item into an output item. This custom recipe example uses only vanilla items and targets Minecraft 1.20.1 (Fabric / Forge):

{
  "type": "enchantment_infusion:simple_infusion",
  "ingredients": [
    {
      "item": "minecraft:redstone"
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:iron_ingot"
    }
  ],
  "input": {
    "item": "minecraft:leather_boots"
  },
  "output": {
    "Count": 1,
    "id": "minecraft:iron_boots"
  },
  "copy_nbt": false
}

For Minecraft 1.21.1 (Fabric / NeoForge), replace output with the following object and leave the other fields unchanged. The quantity field is lowercase count, and additional item data uses components instead of the old Count / tag format:

{
  "id": "minecraft:iron_boots",
  "count": 1
}

Field	Required	Description
type	Required	specify the recipe type as simple infusion
ingredients	Required	1–8 recipe ingredients; the order does not matter (this is a shapeless recipe)
input	Required	input ingredient for the central infusion table
output	Required	output item
copy_nbt	Optional	whether to copy input item data, defaults to true; copies NBT in 1.20.1, or component changes and merged custom data in 1.21.1
