Create Aero: Encased Enchantments

Enchant your Encased machines without losing their casing.

This independent compatibility addon connects Create Encased with Create: Enchantable Machinery, bringing supported vanilla enchantments to 75 built-in Encased machine variants. It keeps their original block and item identities and casing models.

It can be used outside the Create Aero modpack as long as the required mods and versions are installed.

Supported machinery

• Mechanical drills
• Mechanical saws
• Mechanical harvesters
• Mechanical ploughs
• Mechanical rollers
• Encased fans
• Mechanical mixers
• Mechanical presses
• Spouts

Enchantments

Efficiency speeds up supported processing or block-breaking actions on drills, saws, ploughs, rollers, fans, mixers, presses and spouts. It does not increase the travel speed of a contraption. Harvesters are deliberately excluded from Efficiency because the matching upstream behaviour does not provide a speed effect.

Fortune and Silk Touch are supported on drills, saws, harvesters and ploughs where the upstream behaviour and the affected block's loot table use them. Effects vary by block and crop; they are not universal drop multipliers. Fortune and Silk Touch follow normal incompatibility rules.

Apply supported enchanted books using an anvil.

Moving contraptions and enchantment shimmer

Supported moving machines retain their enchantments through assembly and disassembly. The addon integrates with the corresponding moving-actor behaviour, not just stationary machines.

Version 0.2.1 adds enchantment shimmer to the baked casing models of supported enchanted machines carried on contraptions. The hook covers the common render path used with Flywheel enabled and in fallback rendering, and respects Enchantable Machinery's renderGlint setting.

The shimmer covers casings, not separately animated drill heads, saw blades, shafts or other moving model parts.

Required versions

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.265 tested; the loader requirement is 21.1.265 or newer, but other builds have not been certified
• Java 21
• Create 6.0.10
• Create Encased 1.10.0-fix1
• Create: Enchantable Machinery 3.6.0

The addon declares exact versions for the three required mods. Retain their own required libraries and dependencies. Other Minecraft versions, Forge, Fabric and Quilt are not supported by this build.

Installation

• 1. Back up your world and instance.
• 2. Close Minecraft and stop the server before changing files.
• 3. Place create-aero-enchantment-compat-0.2.1.jar in the client mods folder and the server mods folder for multiplayer.
• 4. Keep the three required original mods installed on both sides.
• 5. If upgrading, replace the older compatibility addon rather than installing two versions together.

For single-player, install it in your instance's mods folder. This is a mod JAR, not a datapack.

Important notes

• Tested against the 75 built-in Encased variants in the included coverage inventory. Third-party casing extensions and unrelated items such as shafts, gears and deployers are outside this scope.
• Automated checks include 22 production-JAR Minecraft tests, covering enchantment application, placement, persistence, item recovery, controlled contraption capture/disassembly and representative machine effects. Eight glint-wiring checks and eight exported client transformation checks also pass.
• The isolated client launched successfully. Contraption drill-casing shimmer has also been confirmed in-game by the project owner. This does not certify every casing, shader or rendering backend.
• Full modpack combinations, every loot table and all powered contraption designs have not been exhaustively tested. Back up before upgrading and report reproducible problems with exact versions and logs.
• Ploughs use an addon-owned block entity for enchantment storage while retaining the original Encased block/item IDs. Recover enchanted machines as items and back up before removing this addon; saved enchantments can otherwise be lost. Recovering items alone does not make their enchantments usable without the addon.
