# Curses in Enchantment Table
\nA very simple datapack that uses the data-driven enchantment system added in snapshot 24w18a to make all curses appear in the enchantment table, in addition to regular enchants. Curses will function like regular enchants, meaning that they can be visible, like in the screenshots, but could also be hidden.<\/p>\n
This pack effectively modifies one single line of Minecrat’s data, so it’s probably the most simple way to do so.<\/p>\n
## Compatibility
\nSince this pack only makes use of minecraft’s built-in “curse” tag, it should be compatible with nearly all mods and datapacks that add curses. It might not work with mods that fundamentally overhaul how enchanting works.<\/p>\n
All projects in my Enchanting Stuffs collection are compatible with each other. Additionally, I have tested a few other projects for compatibility:<\/p>\n

\n– Better Enchanting: \u274c Incompatible – curses won’t show up in the table. While Better Enchanting does provide a way to easily configure custom enchantments through a configuration file (more details at their page) and thus make them compatible, it seems to always prevent curses from appearing regardless.
\n– Combat+: \u2705 Confirmed compatible.
\n– DunChanting: \u2705 Confirmed compatible. However, since DunChanting only ever applies one enchantment per slot, you’ll always know whether you’re going to get a curse before enchanting and can thus avoid it.
\n– Enchantments Encore: \u2705 Confirmed compatible.
\n– Easy Magic: \u2705 Confirmed compatible.
\n– Enchancement: \u2705 Confirmed compatible. However, by default, Enchancement will let you choose your enchantments while also disabling hidden enchantments, meaning you can easily avoid getting unwanted curses. Luckily, Enchancement offers extensive configuration options; you’d have to edit those for this combination to make any sense.
\n– Enchantica: \u2705 Confirmed compatible.
\n– Enchanting Infuser: \u2705 Confirmed compatible.
\n– Enchanting Tomes: \u2705 Confirmed compatible.
\n– Enchants Plus: \u2705 Confirmed compatible.
\n– Incantationem: \u2705 Confirmed compatible. However, the 4 curses added by the mod will only show up when the enchantment table is not fully powered up by bookshelves, which is due to them having a maximum cost value of 25, which is less than what a fully-powered enchantment table provides. If wanted, this can be changed by overwriting the `max_cost` field in the `data\/incantationem\/enchantment\/
\n– Just a lot more enchantments: \u2705 Confirmed compatible. However, like with Incantationem, some curses by default won’t show up in a fully-powered enchantment table.
\n– More Enchants: \u2705 Confirmed compatible. However, again, the Curse of Giantism and Curse of Smallism have their max costs set to 10 and 7 respectively, meaning they won’t show up when the enchantment table is fully powered up.
\n– Nadir: \u2705 Confirmed compatible.
\n– RPG Enchanting: \u2757 Unnecessary – curses will show up in the RPG enchanting table anyways, so you can remove this datapack. However, since the mod does not override the functionality of the vanilla enchanting table, but rather adds a new block and overrides the recipe, you can still use the old vanilla enchanting table, for which this pack might still be relevant, provided you add another way to craft or otherwise obtain it.<\/p>\n
