Truly Enchanting

Truly Enchanting completely overhauls Minecraft's enchanting system, making enchantments something you discover, unlock, and work towards instead of obtaining them effortlessly.

The vanilla enchanting table is replaced by the Arcane Enchanting Table, which uses Magic Essence, Magical Power, and Runes to unlock and apply enchantments. Nearly every aspect of the system can be customized through datapacks and configuration files.

Exploration & Runes

Enchantments are no longer unlocked by default, and librarians no longer sell enchanted books.

Instead, you must explore the world and discover Runes hidden within structures. Each rune unlocks specific enchantments and comes with its own theme, block palette, and progression path.

Monoliths

Runes gain their power through Monoliths.

Insert a rune into a Monolith to unlock its enchantments and gather Runic Resonance. Each rune requires specific nearby blocks to operate efficiently, encouraging unique builds and magical setups.

Arcane Enchanting Table

The Arcane Enchanting Table replaces the vanilla enchanting table and introduces a new enchanting progression system.

Features include:

Ambient Essence accumulation
Rune-based enchantment unlocking
Multi-player support
Dynamic enchantment filtering
Configurable balancing

Ambient Essence is generated passively when the table's requirements are met and is consumed when applying enchantments.

The Wand

The Wand is used to manage your enchanting network and provides three modes:

Link Mode – Connect Monoliths and Arcane Enchanting Tables
Bind Mode – Bind players to an Arcane Enchanting Table
Enchant Mode – Starts the enchanting process

Veil of Eternity

Truly Enchanting introduces Veil of Eternity, an alternative to Mending.

Instead of repairing items through experience, Veil of Eternity draws Ambient Essence from the Arcane Enchanting Table the player is bound to. If no power is available, the item will not repair itself.

Mending remains obtainable through vanilla methods such as loot and fishing.

Customization

Almost everything can be customized:

Runes
Enchantments
Structure loot integration
Block palettes
Progression and balancing

This allows seamless integration with modpacks and custom progression systems.
