EnchantLens

# EnchantLens — see every enchantment before you spend your lapis

EnchantLens is a lightweight, **100% client-side** Fabric mod that adds a clear,
readable information layer over Minecraft's enchanting system. Place an item in an
enchanting table — or inspect an enchanted book, an armor piece or a librarian trade —
and EnchantLens shows you exactly which enchantments are possible, at which levels,
and what each of them does, rendered in-game with vanilla-style item icons.
No wikis, no guesswork, no leaving your world.

*The enchanting table with EnchantLens active.*

## ✦ Possible enchantments, at a glance
Toggle the overlay (default: **Alt**) to see every enchantment the item can receive,
straight from the game's own data — accurate for your Minecraft version.

*An unenchanted item and its possible enchantments.*

## ✦ Short form & long form
Need a quick list? Use the **short form**. Want levels, conflicts and full
descriptions? The **long form** gives you everything, paginated with **PageUp / PageDown**.

*Short form — the compact summary.*

*Long form — the complete, paginated report.*

## ✦ Hold-to-inspect details
Hold **Ctrl** over the enchanting table or an item stack for full details on a single
item; hold **Shift** to inspect multiple stacks at once.

*Holding Ctrl at the enchanting table — single-item details.*

## ✦ Enchanted books & book planning
Inspect any enchanted book on its own, or preview exactly what a book will contribute
when combined with an item — in short or long form.

*An enchanted book, fully decoded.*

*Combining a book with an item — what you'll get.*

*Book + item, short form.*

*Book + item, long form.*

## ✦ Villager trade insight
Librarian offers are covered too: check exactly which enchantment (and level) you are
buying before you spend your emeralds.

## ✦ Every enchantable item type
Swords, pickaxes, rods, armor… each item type gets its correct, version-accurate
enchantment pool.

*An armor piece and its possible enchantments.*

## ✦ Vanilla-look & feel
Icons and text are drawn with custom in-game fonts built from real item textures, so
the overlay looks like part of Minecraft instead of a bolted-on HUD.

## ⌨ Controls (defaults)
