Targeted enchanting for Minecraft. Stock chiseled bookshelves with single-enchant books and choose exactly what your gear gets — no more rerolling the enchanting table and hoping.

Server-side only. Vanilla clients can join with no client mod and no resource pack — there are no new items or blocks, so nothing desyncs. Works in single-player too.

✨ How it works

Craft the "Chiseled Enchanter" — a special enchanting table (dragon head + netherite + obsidian). Its name carries a rarity color a vanilla anvil can't reproduce, so it's craft-only; a normal enchanting table stays 100% vanilla.
Ring it with chiseled bookshelves in the usual enchanting-power spots (one-block air gap).
Stock the shelves with single-enchant books for whatever you want to guarantee.
Enchant — the table applies the enchants you chose instead of a random roll.

🎯 The rules that keep it fair

Only max-level books count. A book counts only at that enchant's max — Sharpness V, Unbreaking III, Mending I. Below-max books are flagged and ignored, so nothing is averaged: you can only ever replicate a tier you already own, never launder cheap books into a higher one.
6 max-level books = a 100% guarantee. Fewer books give a proportional chance to land, and everything that lands comes at its max level.
One option, real costs. It unlocks for a flat lapis-block cost (default 14 blocks, not gems); XP scales with what you guarantee. Extra lapis blocks beyond the cost protect your books from being eaten.
Conflicts resolve by book count. Sharpness vs. Smite → whoever has more books wins; an equal tie blanks the table on purpose so you can spot it and add a book to break it.
Live status bar. A bar above the table shows 🟢 green (ready) or 🔴 red with the reason — mixed shelves, a tie, or a below-max book.

Books are sourced the intended way — villager librarian trades.

📖 In-game guide book

Rename a book & quill to chiseledEnchants in an anvil to get a full in-game guide: how the table works, the costs, the status bar, and the commands — written from your server's live config, so the numbers always match. It's a normal signed book, so it renders on a vanilla client.

⌨️ Commands

/cench — summarize a table's setup
/cench preview — what you'll get on your held item
/cench table — what the shelves are set to apply
/cench find <enchant> — trace particle threads to each shelf holding it
/cench about — mod info and links
/cench reload — reload the config (op)

⚙️ For server admins

Everything is tunable in config/chiseledenchants.json, and it hot-reloads with /cench reload — no restart. You can shape the balance and rules however you like: guarantee strength, the lapis/XP economy, book-protection, conflict handling, curse and treasure switches, a per-enchant whitelist, and how the special table is gated (craft-only, anvil-rename allowed, or any table with chiseled shelves).
