Version 1.6: Return to Form

This is a major release that overhauls vanilla enchantments massively! Many have been buffed, some nerfed, and some entirely reworked!

Diminishing Returns

A common theme among my changes is the principle of diminishing returns. The first level of each enchantment will give you a greater effect than the next levels will. This makes enchanting early a bit more desireable. Some enchantments I have done this to (with no other changes) include:

• Efficiency
• Sharpness
• Smite
• Power
• Depth Strider
• Swift Sneak
• Breach

Changelog

• Protection, Projectile Protection, Fire Protection, Feather Falling, and Blast Protection all go up to Level V. They have been rebalanced accordingly.
• Projectile Protection provides some generic knockback resistance.
• Aqua Affinity now goes to level III and is applied to Chestplates instead of helmets.
• Frost Walker has gained an additional level and it can now be used when riding mounts. You can also press shift to not create ice.
• Density has had its damage increased nerfed.
• Punch and Knockback now have a Level III.
• Piercing and Multishot do not conflict anymore.
• Piercing goes to Level III (the amount of mobs pierced at max is the same) and has a slight armor negation effect.
• Multishot goes to Level II.
• Infinity has been reworked to be a chance to not use arrows, including Tipped and Spectral Arrows. It also can apply to Crossbows and goes to Level III.
• Impaling now functions similarly to bedrock edition. Mobs in the rain or water will take the boosted damage. Slight damage nerf in exchange.
• Holding shift will prevent Wind Burst from triggering.
• Bane of Arthropods will work against mobs inflicted with Infestation. The added damage is about half of what arthropods would take and the slowness effect is much weaker.

Original Enchantments

• Adjusted Starlight's advancement.
• Adjusted Starlight enchantment particle placement.
