About this project

What does Enchanted Utilities add?

Description

Enchanted Utilities expands existing vanilla enchantments to items that would work well with those enchantments, it is extremely lightweight and perfect for vanilla+ players who feel like shields should be enchantable or find it odd that some tools are not enchantable.

It does not add enchantments of its own, only expands vanilla ones.

For example below, thorns on a shield:
Thorns on a Shield

Horse armor is also enchantable similar to player armor:
Thorns on a Shield
