Apothic Enchanting FAQ

20 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start with Apothic Enchanting?
Craft the Apothic Enchanting Table and place it, then surround it with bookshelves to build up your enchanting stats. From there, progress into specialized shelves like Hellshelves or Deepshelves to unlock higher-tier enchantments.
What's the difference between Apothic Enchanting table and vanilla enchanting table?
The Apothic Enchanting Table uses a stat system (Eterna, Quanta, Arcana) determined by the bookshelves around it, rather than vanilla's fixed bookshelf count. It also supports the Enchantment Library and lets you reroll or target specific enchantments.
What do eterna quanta and arcana do?
Eterna raises the overall level and quality of enchantments you can roll. Quanta increases the randomness and chance of bonus enchantments, while Arcana boosts the odds of rarer, treasure-type enchantments appearing.
Why are my enchantments so low level?
Your Eterna stat is too low, which usually means you need better or more bookshelves around the table. Swap basic bookshelves for higher-tier ones like Deepshelves or Hellshelves and check the table's stat readout.
How do I use the enchantment library?
Place the Enchantment Library near your setup and feed it enchanted items to extract and store their enchantments. You can then pull those enchantments back out onto new items, letting you bank rolls you don't want to lose.
How do ender leads work?
Ender Leads let you teleport-linked mobs and villagers, making it easy to relocate them without them wandering off. Attach one to a mob and it will follow the lead's anchor point, useful for moving villagers to a trading hall.
How do I get infused dragon's breath?
You combine Dragon's Breath with other ingredients in the mod's processing chain to create the infused version. It's used as a crafting component for higher-tier shelves and other advanced enchanting items.
What are tomes and how do I use them?
Tomes are single-use items that apply a specific enchantment directly to an armor piece, skipping the enchanting table. Use a Tome of Boots or Tome of Chestplates on the matching armor slot to apply its enchantment.
Can I move my Apothic Enchanting table with a pickaxe?
Yes, the Apothic Enchanting Table can be broken and picked up like a normal block, and it retains its state. Just make sure you have the right tool to avoid losing it.
Does Apothic Enchanting work with other mods' enchantments?
Yes, the table can roll enchantments from other mods as long as they're registered as normal enchantments. Modded enchantments with special restrictions may not appear, but most standard ones will.
What does Apothic Enchanting do?
It is the Enchanting Module of Apotheosis and provides a full overhaul to Minecraft's enchanting system, plus new enchantments and utilities. It adds Enchanting Stats provided by bookshelves that change how the Enchanting Table behaves.
Which Minecraft versions and mod loaders does Apothic Enchanting support?

What mod does Apothic Enchanting belong to or require?
It is the Enchanting Module of Apotheosis, and the 9Minecraft article describes it as part of the Apotheosis modpack.
What are Eterna, Quanta and Arcana in Apothic Enchanting?
They are the three primary Enchanting Stats. Eterna measures enchanting strength and increases the level cost, Quanta measures randomness and changes how much RNG is involved, and Arcana measures mystical quality, increasing the number of enchantments received and making rare enchantments more common.
What is the max enchanting level in Apothic Enchanting?
The max level of the Enchanting Table is increased to 100, and the max levels of most enchantments are automatically increased.

Does Apothic Enchanting add new items and blocks?
Yes. It registers 53 items and blocks, including the apothic enchanting table, many bookshelf variants such as hellshelf, seashelf and deepshelf, the enchantment library, ender leads, and tomes like the tome of extraction and tome of scrapping.
What are the secondary Enchanting Stats in Apothic Enchanting?
They are Enchanting Clues, which change how many enchantments are shown when hovering a slot; Quantic Stability, which makes Quanta only beneficial; Allowing Treasure, which lets treasure enchantments such as Mending appear; and Enchantment Filters, which blacklist certain enchantments from the table.
Can you get treasure enchantments like Mending at the Apothic Enchanting table?
Yes, if a bookshelf provides the Allowing Treasure stat, treasure enchantments such as Mending can show up in the Enchanting Table. Curses are also treasure enchantments, so they can appear too.
