ExcellentEnchants — 80+ New Enchantments on CivSMP

What is ExcellentEnchants?

ExcellentEnchants is a plugin we've added to CivSMP that introduces over 80 new enchantments alongside the vanilla ones — covering everything from quality-of-life tweaks like auto-replanting crops to game-changing combat enchants that summon lightning on hit.

The best part: they're fully integrated with vanilla. You get them from the same places you'd get any other enchantment — enchanting tables, villager trades, dungeon loot, fishing, and mob drops. No new menus to remember, no separate progression — just a much richer enchantment pool.

How to Get Them

Custom enchantments appear naturally in every vanilla source you already use:

SourceWhat you can find
📚 Enchanting TableRandom rolls just like vanilla — higher bookshelf counts unlock higher tiers
🧙 Villager TradesLibrarian villagers offer custom enchanted books in their trades
🎣 FishingFish up enchanted books with custom enchantments
📦 Dungeon LootFind custom-enchanted items in chest loot
🧟 Mob EquipmentMobs occasionally spawn wearing custom-enchanted gear

Use an anvil to combine or transfer enchantments, and a grindstone to remove them — works exactly like vanilla.

Standout Enchantments

There are 80+ to discover, but here are the ones worth chasing first.

⛏️ Tool Enchantments

EnchantmentEffect
Veinminer (III)Mines an entire ore vein in one swing — perfect for diamond and ancient debris runs
Tunnel (III)Mines a 1×2, 2×2, or 3×3 area at once. Massive time-saver for stripmining
Blast Mining (V)Mines blocks with explosions. Loud, fast, dangerous
Telekinesis (I)Sends all mined drops straight to your inventory — no more chasing dropped items
Smelter (V)Auto-smelts ores as you mine them (iron, gold, copper come out as ingots)
Treefeller (I)Cuts down an entire tree in one swing
Replanter (I)Auto-replants crops as you harvest them with a hoe
Silk Spawner (I)Chance to drop a working monster spawner when you mine one
Silk Chest (I)Drops chests with all their contents intact — moving bases just got easier
Lucky Miner (III)Extra XP from mined blocks

Note: Tunnel, Veinminer, and Blast Mining are mutually exclusive — you can only have one on a pickaxe at a time. Pick the playstyle you want.

⚔️ Weapon Enchantments

EnchantmentEffect
Thunder (V)Summons lightning on every hit with bonus damage. Loud and devastating
Vampire (III)Steals health from your target on hit
Rage (II)Grants Strength while you're actively in combat
Temper (V)The lower your health, the more damage you deal — clutch weapon for risky fights
Decapitator (II)Chance to drop your target's head (player or mob)
Cutter (III)Damages and knocks armor pieces off your target
Ice Aspect (III)Freezes and slows targets
Rocket (III)Launches your target into the air
Wisdom (V)Extra XP from killed mobs
Bane of Netherspawn (V)Increased damage to Nether mobs
Village Defender (V)Increased damage to Illagers (pillager raids become trivial)
Thrifty (III)Mobs drop their spawn egg when killed

🏹 Bow & Crossbow Enchantments

By default, all bow enchantments work on crossbows too, which makes the ranged options way more flexible.

EnchantmentEffect
Ender Bow (I)Shoots ender pearls instead of arrows — instant teleport on hit
Ghast (I)Shoots fireballs instead of arrows
Bomber (III)Shoots primed TNT — wild for siege scenarios
Electrified Arrows (III)Summons lightning where arrows land
Dragonfire Arrows (III)Leaves dragon's-breath clouds on impact
Sniper (II)Significantly faster projectile speed
Vampiric Arrows (III)Restore health when your arrows hit
Hover (III)Targets get Levitation — they float helplessly upward
Flare (I)Places a torch wherever your arrow lands. Lighting up caves just got easier

Ender Bow, Ghast, and Bomber are mutually exclusive — pick one playstyle per bow.

🛡️ Armor Enchantments

EnchantmentEffect
Dragon Heart (V)Passive Health Boost — extra hearts while equipped
Regrowth (IV)Slowly regenerates hearts over time
Hardened (II)Grants Resistance when you take damage
Fire Shield (IV)Ignites attackers when you take damage
Ice Shield (III)Freezes and slows attackers
Kamikadze (III)Creates an explosion when you die — petty revenge for PvP losses
Flame Walker (II)Walk on lava like Frost Walker does for water (mutually exclusive with Frost Walker)
Speed (II)Permanent Speed effect from boots
Jumping (II)Permanent Jump Boost from boots
Night Vision (I)Permanent Night Vision from helmet — no more torch spam
Water Breathing (I)Permanent Water Breathing from helmet
Saturation (II)Helmet slowly restores hunger over time
Lightweight (I)Safe to land on farmland, turtle eggs, and dripleaf without breaking them
Rebound (I)Lets you bounce on the ground like a slime block (mutually exclusive with Feather Falling)

🎣 Fishing Enchantments

EnchantmentEffect
Auto Reel (I)Automatically reels in your rod the moment a fish bites
Double Catch (III)Catches twice as many items per cast
River Master (V)Significantly longer casting distance
Survivalist (I)Auto-cooks any raw fish you catch
Seasoned Angler (III)More XP from fishing
Curse of Drowned (III)Chance to fish up a Drowned. Yes, really

🌟 Universal Enchantments

These can go on basically anything.

EnchantmentEffect
Soulbound (I)Item won't drop when you die — the single most valuable enchantment in the pack. Mutually exclusive with Curse of Vanishing
Restore (III)Item saves itself from breaking once when durability runs out
Curse of Breaking (III)Item loses durability faster. Use it on something disposable
Curse of Mediocrity (III)Strips enchantments off blocks/mobs you destroy — useful for cleansing builds
Curse of Misfortune (III)Reduces drops to zero. The opposite of Fortune/Looting
Curse of Fragility (I)Item can't be grindstoned or anviled. Permanent enchantments only

Combining Enchantments

Combining works exactly like vanilla via anvil:

  1. Place your enchanted item in the left slot
  2. Place the matching enchanted book (or another item with the enchantment) in the right slot
  3. Pay the XP cost and take the result

Use a grindstone to remove unwanted enchantments — works the same way it does for vanilla enchantments.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of It

  • Prioritize Soulbound on your best gear — losing your netherite kit on a stupid death is a thing of the past
  • Try Veinminer on a Fortune III pickaxe — diamond runs become absurdly profitable
  • Telekinesis pairs with everything — slap it on every tool you own. No more lost drops
  • Smelter + Lucky Miner + Veinminer is the meta-mining loadout — minimal effort, maximum yield
  • Auto Reel + Double Catch + Lure turns fishing into a passive XP and treasure farm
  • Thunder on a sword feels overpowered, but its cooldown keeps it balanced — just enjoy the spectacle
  • Watch your enchantment conflicts — combining mutually exclusive enchantments (e.g. Tunnel + Veinminer) just won't work
  • Curse books are still books — they're tradeable on the Auction House if you don't want them

A Note on Balance

We chose ExcellentEnchants specifically because it integrates cleanly with vanilla rather than overwriting it. No loot tables were modified, no vanilla enchantments removed, no grindfests required. Everything pulls from the same sources you already know, and the per-enchantment weights are tuned so rare enchantments (Veinminer, Thunder, Dragon Heart, Soulbound) feel earned when you finally get them.

Useful Commands

Most interaction is just through anvils, enchanting tables, and the usual vanilla flow. But there's a browse-all menu:

CommandWhat it does
/enchantsOpen the in-game enchantments GUI to browse every available enchantment

You can hover any custom-enchanted item to see a description tooltip explaining exactly what each enchantment does — no memorizing required.

Final Thoughts

ExcellentEnchants takes the part of Minecraft most players already love — enchanting a fresh set of gear and slowly upgrading it — and triples the depth of the system without taking anything away. Whether you're chasing the perfect mining setup, building a max-tier PvP kit, or just want a fishing rod that does the work for you, there's something new to look forward to.
