Evergrowth Enchanting Overhaul is a complete reimagining of Minecraft's enchanting system, introducing enchantment slots, expanded progression, and greater control over how players upgrade their gear. Designed to complement Evergrowth Core, it makes enchanting more strategic, rewarding, and customizable while maintaining a vanilla-friendly experience that feels like a natural evolution of Minecraft's progression.
The enchanting table only accepts books (regular book or enchanted book in the left slot, lapis in the right). When you place a book, three offers are generated and each one shows you exactly what enchantment you will get before you commit. Your rolls stay locked in and persist until you pick one or remove the book.
Bookshelf count (capped at 15) scales which tiers show up in your offers:
| Bookshelves | Common | Uncommon | Rare |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 75% | 23% | 2% |
| 15 | 50% | 35% | 15% |
Costs are flat per tier regardless of which of the three slots you click:
| Tier | XP | Lapis |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 5 | 1 |
| Uncommon | 15 | 4 |
| Rare | 30 | 8 |
If you don't have enough lapis for the tier you clicked, the enchant won't apply and you'll see a message in your action bar.
Every enchanted book carries a hidden destruction chance based on its tier. This applies to books from the enchanting table and books found in loot chests or from fishing.
The destruction chance is visible on the book's tooltip and shows the exact percentage plus a risk label:
When you apply the book at the anvil it either succeeds or shatters. If it shatters, the enchantment is not applied, the book is consumed, and you receive a chat message telling you which enchantment was lost.
Enchanted books from loot chests and fishing are filtered so Rare enchantments can never appear. If the loot table would have produced a Rare, it is replaced with a Common (80% chance) or Uncommon (20% chance). Books found this way carry destruction chances the same as enchanting table books.
All weapons, tools, armor pieces, and shields show a custom section at the bottom of their tooltip:
Every enchanted book shows:
Adds +1 enchantment slot to any weapon, tool, armor piece, or shield. Combine at the anvil. Costs 5 XP per use. Does not stack (single item).
How to get:
Raises every enchantment on an item by +1, capped at each enchantment's maximum level. At least one enchantment must have room to go up or nothing happens. XP cost per enchantment raised: 2 (Common), 8 (Uncommon), 20 (Rare). Combine at the anvil. Consumed on use. Stacks to 16.
How to get: Creative tab / commands only — no survival recipe or trade exists yet.
Place in the enchanting table. Rerolls all 3 current offers into a fresh set scaled by your bookshelf count. The previous set is saved for one step. Consumed on use. Stacks to 16.
How to get: Creative tab / commands only — no survival recipe or trade exists yet.
Place in the enchanting table after using a Tome of Renewal. Swaps your current 3 offers back to the set that came before your last reroll. Can be used repeatedly to flip between the two sets. Requires that at least one Tome of Renewal has been used this session. Consumed on use. Stacks to 16.
How to get: Creative tab / commands only — no survival recipe or trade exists yet.
