Custom Enchantments

What Are Custom Enchantments?

Custom enchantments are unique, plugin-added enchantments that go beyond Minecraft's vanilla enchantment system. These special enchantments provide powerful effects and abilities you can't get in normal Minecraft gameplay.

Key Features of Custom Enchantments

  1. Unique Effects

    • Special abilities like teleportation, life steal, area-of-effect damage

    • Visual effects (particles, glowing items)

    • Game-changing mechanics (flying, auto-smelting)

  2. Tiered Rarity System

    • Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary → Mythic

    • Higher rarity = stronger effects but harder to obtain

  3. Customization Options

    • Admins can adjust power levels, drop rates, and compatibility

    • Some enchantments require special resources (like Souls) to activate

Types of Custom Enchantments

1. Weapon Enchantments

Examples:

  • Beheading (Chance to drop mob heads)

  • Auto-Repair (Slowly fixes armor over time)

  • Radiance (Emits light around player)

  • Dodge (Chance to avoid all damage)

3. Tool Enchantments

How to Get Custom Enchantments

  1. Enchanting Table (With Special Books)

    • Higher level enchants require special "Ancient" or "Mystic" books

    • Some only appear at certain locations (Nether, End)

  2. Villager Trading

    • Special "Enchanter" villagers may sell custom enchants

    • Wandering traders sometimes offer rare books

  3. Dungeon Loot

    • Found in special chests in custom dungeons/raids

    • Boss mobs often drop powerful enchanted gear

  4. Tinker System

    • Combine lower-level enchants to create stronger ones

    • Extract enchants from found gear

Managing Custom Enchantments

Special Considerations

  • Enchantment Conflicts: Some enchants can't coexist (e.g., Sharpness + Smite)

  • Durability Impact: Powerful enchants may degrade items faster

  • Balance Tradeoffs: Strong effects often come with drawbacks (slower speed, higher costs)

Upgrading Enchantments

  • Use the Tinker system to combine/upgrade enchants

  • Some enchants can be leveled up using special resources

  2. Endgame Content - Provides goals for veteran players
