The new enchanting GUI makes enchanted books obsolete. Now, you can choose your enchantments without annoying anvil level costs or tedious villager trade halls!

Mending is an extremely overpowered enchantment that removes the need to ever build new tools again once it is unlocked. In this mod, it cannot be obtained from enchanted books or the enchanting table.

In this mod anvil costs are heavily reduced and do not increase with enchantments on gear! This removes the need for mending - don't panic.

You can change this setting via config on a world-by-world basis. Enabling mending will give Ancient Books a chance to spawn with mending, and mending will appear in the enchanting table.

For 1.21.1:

Start a world, press escape, then Mods -> Immersive Enchanting -> Settings -> Enable Mending.

For 1.20.1:

Use /togglemending (requires cheats to be on!)

Rather than grinding leather and sugar cane for bookshelves to reach max level enchantments, you are encouraged to explore the world and discover ancient books in loot chests. Add them to your chiseled bookshelves to unlock new enchantments! Plus, they look way cooler.

Nothing is worse than standing at a mob grinder waiting to hit level 30 just so you can have the chance of unlocking a good enchantment. XP costs have been removed completely from the enchantment process. Instead, you are encouraged to explore and gather items, as enchantments now have material costs.
