Catter's Enchantment Tweaks

With the release of version 1.21, Minecraft developers gave datapack creators significantly more opportunities to work with custom enchantments. I couldn't resist the temptation to experiment with them! Although many authors will likely create their own sets with numerous new effects, I decided to focus on basic capabilities. This datapack makes changes only to standard enchantments without adding completely new ones. I also try to maintain a style close to vanilla, with the goal of improving the balance of some enchantments or adding useful quality-of-life features.

Beta Version

This datapack is in the early stages of development! I've conducted minimal testing and have only added a few changes so far. More updates are planned in the future...

Current Changes

Smite

• Adds a small bonus of regular sharpness against creatures that are not undead. At level five, this is approximately equivalent to Sharpness II enchantment.
• When hitting baby zombies (and their variants), there's a chance to turn them into adult specimens, making escape and further attacks easier.

Bane of Arthropods

• Adds a small bonus of regular sharpness against creatures that are not arthropods. At level five, this is approximately equivalent to Sharpness II enchantment.

Loyalty

• When the trident hits the ground or a mob, it throws all nearby items (within a one-block radius) back to the player. The higher the enchantment level, the stronger the throw! Use this to quickly collect distant items or obtain loot from mobs killed at a distance.

Horse and Wolf Armor

• Unfortunately, it's currently impossible to allow enchanting wolf and horse armor on the enchantment table. However, they can now be enchanted on an anvil using the following enchanted books:
  • Depth Strider
  • Feather Falling
  • Frost Walker
  • Respiration
  • Thorns
  • Unbreaking (wolf armor only)
  • Mending (wolf armor only)

Planned Changes

In the future, I plan to consider the following possibilities:

• Additional improvements for trident enchantments
• Possibility of completely revising the Mending enchantment
• Changes to the balance of protective enchantments
• And much more!
