AutoEnchantEvolution

Time-based enchantment progression. Your gear grows stronger the longer you play.

AutoEnchantEvolution completely rethinks how enchantments work in Minecraft. Instead of spending XP levels at an enchanting table, your tools and armor form a bond with you. The longer you keep them in your inventory, the more powerful they become. Start with weak Novice-tier enchantments and evolve your gear over hours of gameplay into Mythic-tier weapons of mass destruction.

📜 The Bond System

Every second you have a tool or piece of armor in your inventory, its Bond Time increases. As bond time grows, the item passes through five tiers. Each tier unlocks access to better enchantment pools and changes the visual appearance of the item.

Tiers & Visuals

• Novice (0–5 min) — Dark Gray Tint / Crimson Spore Particles
  • Weak enchantments: Unbreaking I, Smite I, Efficiency I
• Adept (5–15 min) — Green Tint / Totem Particles
  • Basic enchantments: Sharpness II, Protection II, Fortune II
• Master (15–30 min) — Yellow Tint / Flame Particles
  • Strong enchantments: Sharpness IV, Fire Aspect, Looting II
• Legendary (30–60 min) — Flashing Black & White Tint / Soul Particles
  • Max vanilla enchantments: Sharpness V, Mending, Fortune III
• Mythic (60+ min) — Glitching RGB Tint / Reverse Portal Particles
  • Superior enchantments past vanilla caps: Sharpness 6+, Protection 5+, Flame 2+

At each tier, the item periodically gains a new enchantment or upgrades an existing one. Early tiers upgrade every 30 seconds. Mythic tier upgrades every 2 minutes — making every upgrade feel earned. When an item reaches Mythic, it is automatically renamed to Ancient [Item Name] in red text.

Superior Enchantments

When an enchantment passes its vanilla maximum level, it becomes Superior. Superior enchantments are displayed in gold bold text and scale indefinitely up to level 1,000,000. A Superior Sharpness sword does more damage than vanilla Sharpness V. A Superior Flame bow sets enemies on fire longer. All enchantment levels are displayed as literal numbers with comma formatting (e.g., Sharpness 1,234), no roman numerals.

• Dynamic Enchantment Pool: The mod scans all registered enchantments (vanilla + modded) and rolls ones that make sense for the item.

• Anvil Preservation: Combining a bonded item in an anvil preserves the bond time.

• Mythic Set Bonus: Wearing a full set of Mythic (60+ min) armor grants permanent Resistance, Strength, and Speed.
