Better Enchanted Books
Makes life easier for enchanters.
About this Mod
Better Enchanted Books !
This is a mod that adds a couple of quality of life features into the Vanilla+ experience in Minecraft.
It is 100% client sided, so the server doesn't need to have the mod installed for it to work.
I'll try to keep everything as customizable as possible.
Features

- Sort the enchantments in a tooltip, you can manually make your desired order or just alphabetically sort it;
- Assign custom colors to each enchantment and those will display in as the color of the strip on Enchanted Books.
- Disable glint on enchanted books (Configurable).
- Show which items each enchantment can be applied to in it's tooltip (Configurable)
Notes:
- Mod Menu is not necessary but recommended and the only way to change any settings ingame.
For dev:
- Edit build.gradle and mod.json to suit your needs.
- The "mixins" object can be removed from mod.json if you do not need to use mixins.
- Please replace all occurences of "modid" with your own mod ID - sometimes, a different string may also suffice.
- Run the following command:
./gradlew idea

Does Better Enchanted Books need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Better Enchanted Books as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Better Enchanted Books require?
Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.6. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Better Enchanted Books is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
