How to Rebalance or Disable the Enchanting Table

Beyond removing individual enchantments, you can customize how the vanilla enchanting table works—or shut it down completely to encourage exploration and trading instead.

Changing Table Mechanics

1. Open your Minecraft config folder or in-game mod configuration screen and open the Enchantment Disabler Mod settings.

2. Locate the optional enchanting table tweaks and adjust the settings to match your desired difficulty:

• Disable the Table: Turn on the option to disable the enchanting table entirely if you do not want players enchanting gear manually.
• Limit Bookshelves: Cap the maximum number of bookshelves the enchanting table can use, restricting access to high-tier table rolls even around a full vanilla bookshelf setup.
• Adjust Resource Costs: Modify the lapis lazuli and experience requirements for enchanting to make each roll cheaper or more expensive.

3. Save your configuration changes and reload or restart your game.

Testing Your Setup

Place an enchanting table surrounded by bookshelves in a test world, bring lapis lazuli and experience levels, and insert an unenchanted tool or armor piece. Verify that the offered levels and resource costs reflect your configured limits, or confirm that the table is inactive if you disabled it.
