A simple Minecraft datapack that adds higher levels to (most) vanilla enchantments, makes some incompatible enchantments compatible (eg. Sharpness and Smite).<\/p>\n
Editable .json files in \/data\/minecraft\/enchantment\/ allow for changing the highest level for each enchantment.<\/p>\n
For full instructions and editability of enchantments read the README.txt file inside the .zip file.<\/p>\n
The default enchantment levels are:
\n– Aqua Affinity – 3
\n– Bane of Arthropods – 8, now compatible with Smite, Sharpness, Tridents

As of version 1.1 there is an optional Horse Armor file for 1.21.11 that allows you to enchant Horse Armor with:
\n– Blast Protection, Fire Protection, Projectile Protection and Protection
\n– Feather Falling
\n– Thorns<\/p>\n
These are the only ones that seem to work as evident by the Minecraft Wiki article and my own testing. The levels are the same as on normal armor.<\/p>\n
As of version 1.3 Horse Armor and Wolf Armor are included, Wolf Armor can be enchanted with:
\n– Blast Protection, Fire Protection (only secondary effects apply since)
\n– Projectile Protection (although this does nothing since it doesn’t have a secondary effect)
\n– Protection – reduces damage taken (and therefore also increases durability) from some types of damage
\n– Unbreaking – increases durability by up to 600% at level VI
\n– Thorns – works as intended
\n– Mending – only works if armor is held in hand by the player<\/p>\n
As opposed to Horse Armor, Feather Falling has no effect, and is therefore not appliable.<\/p>\n
As of 1.3 there is also a optional file that adds the ability to enchant Nautilus Armor. It can be enchanted with the same enchantments as horse armor except Feather Falling.<\/p>\n
If you would like to report issues, give me ideas for additons\/changes (you can change max levels yourself in the .json files) or ask something relevant to this topic then feel free to ask in the HigherEnchants Discord Server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
