About this Mod
A mod which provides a new mechanic for Anvil, if you are creating modpack with unique base progression or you think Anvil is overpowered or you think that every mechanic should have both pros and cons, then this mod is just for you!
Now default iron anvil requests more exp and gives you a chance to get curse enchant while you are enchanting through it. The higher the level, the higher the chance to get cursed. You can assess it visually, it changes colour from orange to black, the darker orange then a bigger chance.
But, what if player wants to get perfect enchants for his tools and equipment? This mod also adds netherite anvil which requests less exp and removes the chance of being cursed. Netherite anvil is unbreakable (not breaking due usage) and gives more fall damage. Netherite anvil can sound overpowered but it is balanced by very expensive craft with 3 netherite blocks.
This mod also provides a guarantee curse for several enchants, like mending or infinity and more by default (they are guaranteed only for iron anvil).
You can fully customize the way how mod works by config, you can even change colors for "Enchantment cost" text. Also, I recommend using it with other mods like Majrusz's Enchantments which add's new curses to the game.
