Understand Enchantment Behavior with ItemEnchantedEvent

How ItemEnchantedEvent Affects Gameplay

Bookshelf Mod provides the ItemEnchantedEvent, a tool for mod developers to customize how enchantments behave. As a player, you may notice altered enchantment mechanics in mods built on Bookshelf.

What This Means for Players

Mods using ItemEnchantedEvent can:

• Modify enchantment effects when items are enchanted at an enchanting table
• Prevent certain enchantment combinations
• Add custom enchantment behavior beyond vanilla mechanics
• Trigger special effects when items receive specific enchantments

If you're playing a modpack using Bookshelf, enchantments may behave differently than vanilla Minecraft. For example, a mod might prevent incompatible enchantments from appearing together, or add bonus effects when rare enchantment combinations occur.

Check individual mod documentation to understand specific enchantment changes. If enchanting feels restricted or behaves unexpectedly, this is likely intentional balance from the modpack creator. You can still use enchanting tables, anvils, and enchanted books normally—the underlying mechanics are simply enhanced through Bookshelf's event system.
