About this project

What does NEI Enchantments add?

NEI Enchantments brings the classic Not Enough Items (NEI) X-key enchantment feature to modern Minecraft.

Hover over an item in your inventory, press X, and manage its enchantments through an easy-to-use menu.

Features

  • Quick access: Open the enchantment menu directly from your inventory.

  • Smart filtering: See enchantments compatible with the selected item.

  • Extended levels: Apply multi-level enchantments up to level 10. Single-level enchantments remain capped at level 1. Server settings may lower these limits.

  • Search and filtering: Find enchantments using the search box, scrollable list, and favourite/recent filters.

  • Level slider: Choose a level, then apply or remove the selected enchantment.

  • Favourites and presets: Keep favourite enchantments, use built-in presets, or save an item's enchantments as a reusable preset.

  • Server validation: Enchantment changes are checked and applied by the server.

  • Survival and Creative support: Free enchanting is enabled by default. Server owners can configure costs and access restrictions.

  • Optional JEI integration: View usage instructions and custom enchantment information in JEI.

  • English and Turkish translations.

Custom Enchantments

Vein Miner — Pickaxes

Break connected ore blocks of the same type, including Nether quartz.

The default limit is 60 blocks per activation, configurable by the server.

Tree Feller — Axes

Chop connected logs of the same type and remove leaves identified as belonging to that tree.

The default limits are 128 logs and 256 leaves per activation, configurable by the server.

Both enchantments are available through the X-key menu. Extra block breaking uses Minecraft's normal breaking mechanics and stops when the enchanted tool breaks.

Server Configuration

Configure the mod in config/neienchant.json:

  • Restrict menu access to operators.

  • Set the maximum enchantment level.

  • Add experience-level and lapis costs.

  • Choose whether Creative players pay costs.

  • Block specific enchantments.

  • Enable or disable custom enchantments.

  • Require sneaking for Vein Miner or Tree Feller.

  • Adjust block-breaking limits.

An authorized operator can apply configuration changes with:

/neienchant reload

Favourites and saved presets are stored locally on each client.
