Enchantments

Enchantable Items

To make a NovaItem enchantable, add the Enchantable behavior:

val EXAMPLE_ITEM = registerItem("example_item", Enchantable)
configs/example_item.yml
enchantment_value: 10 # (1)!
supported_enchantments: # (2)!
   - minecraft:sharpness
   - minecraft:smite
   - minecraft:bane_of_arthropods
   - minecraft:knockback
   - minecraft:fire_aspect
   - minecraft:looting
   - minecraft:sweeping
   - minecraft:unbreaking
   - minecraft:mending
  1. The enchantment value of the item. This value defines how enchantable an item is. A higher enchantment value means more secondary and higher-level enchantments.
    Vanilla enchantment values: wood: 15, stone: 5, iron: 14, diamond: 10, gold: 22, netherite: 15
  2. The supported enchantments of this item. Since primary_enchantments is not defined, these are also the primary enchantments of the item.

supported_enchantments vs. primary_enchantments

Supported enchantments: The enchantments that can be applied to the item, i.e. via anvil or commands.
Primary enchantments: The enchantments that appear in the enchanting table.

If you're defining supported_enchantments via the config, primary_enchantments will default to supported_enchantments. Once you add primary_enchantments to the config, you'll need to add all enchantments from supported_enchantments to primary_enchantments it.

Enchantable behaviors instantiated in code do not have such defaulting functionality.

Custom Enchantments

To create a custom enchantment, you'll need to create an EnchantmentRegistry:

Enchantments.kt
@Init(stage = InitStage.PRE_PACK) // (1)!
object Enchantments : EnchantmentRegistry by ExampleAddon.registry {

    val EXAMPLE_ENCHANTMENT = enchantment("example_enchantment") {
        // ...
    }

}
