Singleplayer

1. Install Fabric Loader, NeoForge or Forge for your Minecraft version.

2. Download the jar for that version and loader from the latest release (not a -sources jar):

   Your Minecraft	Fabric / Quilt	NeoForge	Forge	Java
   1.21.11	enchanting2-<version>+1.21.11-fabric.jar (Fabric only)	—	—	21
   26.1, 26.1.1	enchanting2-<version>+26.1-26.1.2-fabric.jar	—	enchanting2-<version>+26.1-26.1.2-forge.jar	25
   26.1.2	enchanting2-<version>+26.1-26.1.2-fabric.jar	enchanting2-<version>+26.1.2-neoforge.jar	enchanting2-<version>+26.1-26.1.2-forge.jar	25
   26.2	enchanting2-<version>+26.2-fabric.jar	enchanting2-<version>+26.2-neoforge.jar	enchanting2-<version>+26.2-forge.jar	25
   26.3	enchanting2-<version>+26.3-fabric.jar	enchanting2-<version>+26.3-neoforge.jar	enchanting2-<version>+26.3-forge.jar	25

3. Put it in your mods folder. On Fabric, add Fabric API too, and Mod Menu if you want the config screen.

Your first launch writes the config files to config/enchanting2/ (see Configuration).

Servers and LAN

Install it on the server and on every player's client. The new table, anvil and grindstone screens and Double Jump need client code.

Server	Client	Result
Enchanting 2	Enchanting 2	everything works
Enchanting 2	vanilla (or without the mod)	the player is turned away at join, with a message naming the mod
vanilla	Enchanting 2	vanilla screens and rules; the mod stays out of the way

Both sides must run the same release: when the network protocol changes between versions, a mismatched client is turned away at join the same way.

The server's gameplay settings apply to everyone and are sent to each player when they join. On a dedicated server the in-game config screen shows the server's values read-only; edit the files on the server and run /reload. Only the Display settings (client.json5) are each player's own. Details: Configuration.

Compatibility

• Other mods' enchantments are kept on items through every operation. They're priced like the default (1 level per enchantment level) unless enchantments.json5 says otherwise, and they show their own Ctrl description if their mod provides one.
• Enchantment Descriptions (enchdesc): when it's installed, Enchanting 2's own Ctrl descriptions turn off so lines aren't doubled.
• Recipe viewers (JEI, REI, EMI): the wider anvil and grindstone windows draw nothing outside the window, so viewers lay out around them.
• Datapacks can extend the tags the mod reads: which enchantments the table offers (enchanting2:offered_at_table), which blocks Fortune multiplies (enchanting2:fortune_multiplies/<tool>), and which items take Keep on Death and the widened vanilla enchantments.
