Inspired by the Apotheosis mod, Nadir aims to reinvent the enchanting system by making it more immersive and customizable outside of just adding more Bookshelves.
Nadir also rebalances most of Minecraft's enchantments and adds some new ones as well.
Enchanting has been replaced with a GUI-less system. Right clicking on a newly placed Enchanting Table will bring up a new menu where you can select whether to enchant items or dismantle the Table. Only the Table's owner can dismantle the Table in order to improve compatibility with claim plugins on some Multiplayer servers.
While in the enchanting mode, 4 new variables, all of which affect the outcome, will be displayed at the top of the menu, those being Eterna, Quanta, Arcana and Rectification respectively.
Variables
⚡ Eterna - raw enchanting power, increases enchanting level
Example: 15 Eterna allows for enchanting at level 30, while 30 allows for enchanting at level 60
Max value: 30
🔥 Quanta - chaos, amplifies the enchanting level by +- half of its value
Example: 50 Quanta would mean that its amplification potential ranges from
-25% ~ +25%Max value: 100%
🧪 Arcana - secondary power, gives a chance to roll enchantments twice
Example: 25 Arcana gives a 25% chance to roll enchantments twice
Max value: 100%
☯️ Rectification - zen, decreases Quanta's reduction potential
Example: 100 Quanta and 50 Rectification would mean that Quanta's amplification potential ranges from
-25% ~ +50%(-(100 / 2 * 0.5) ~ +(100 /2))Max value: 100%
Adding different blocks to an enchanting setup can increase either of those 4 values. Or sometimes multiple variables at the same time!

Other
- Dragon Egg - gives a chance to roll treasure enchantments, chance scales with Arcana at a 1:1 ratio (e.g. 54 Arcana = 54% chance). Careful though, as curses are also classified as treasure enchantments!
- Lectern - put in a Written Book to set the Table's name to whatever is in its title
In order to enchant an item, drop it on top of the Enchanting Table while in the enchanting mode and then add 1 - 3 Lapis Lazuli. After everything is prepared, right-click the Enchant button to consume all Lapis and enchant the item. You can always withdraw your item from the Enchanting Table by right-clicking it. Same applies to the inserted Lapis, which is now also displayed orbiting around the Table.
Enchanting Table block detection range has been extended upwards by 1 block to accommodate for requiring more blocks to work to its fullest potential.
Whenever you place your first Enchanting Table, you will receive Ars Arcana - Nadir's guide to the new and reworked enchanting. It can be used if you don't want to come back to this page every 20 seconds to check what does what.
New enchanting system can be disabled by doing
/scoreboard players set #nadir.config nadir.config.enable_new_enchanting 0and re-enabled by setting the score back to 1.
Nadir adds a lot of new enchantments, but also changes or rebalances most of vanilla enchantments.
Additionaly, some changes general changes have been made. All treasure enchantments now have golden names and Villagers will no longer sell cursed books. A lot of enchantments have also gained ambient particle effects to indicate that they are present and working.
Changes to vanilla enchantments
- ⚔️ Sharpness - can be applied to Tridents and Maces.
- ⚔️ Smite, Bane of Arthropods - stack with Sharpness and each other, changed damage increase to
+10% * (level + 1)(total of +60% at level V). Both enchantments can be applied to Tridents and Maces. - ⚔️ Knockback - reduced knockback by 33%.
- ⚔️ Sweeping Edge - reduced enchantment efficiency.
- 🛡️ Protection - reduced base damage reduction per level from +4% to +2.5% and increased max level from IV to V.
This means that maximum damage reduction is now 50% with full Protection V armor, while in vanilla it is 64% with full Protection IV.
- 🛡️ Blast Protection, Projectile Protection, Fire Protection - now stack with all Protection enchantments, but provide a much smaller bonus to damage reduction (+3% per piece compared to +8% in vanilla).
- 🛡️ Fire Protection - changed burn time decrease to
-10% + 5% * level, stacking multiplicatively with other pieces instead of additively. - 🛡️ Blast Protection - reduced explosion knockback resistance to 5% per level.
This means that each specialized Protection enchantment can provide an extra 48% damage reduction against a given damage type.
- 🍃 Feather Falling - reworked to reduce taken fall damage by
5% * (level + 1)and increase safe fall distance by1 + level * 2blocks. - 🔨 Unbreaking - slighlty nerfed Ubreaking on tools and buffed the effect on armor. Unbreaking now also scales to level V.
New Unbreaking values
Chance to not damage the enchanted item:
- Tools:
- Old:
level / level + 1 - New:
level / level + 2
- Old:
- Armor:
- Old:
level * 2 / level * 5 + 5 - New:
level * 2 / level * 4 + 4
- Old:
- 🔨 Mending - no longer a treasure enchantment, can be found in Enchanting Table. Has IV max levels, with level IV being the same as Mending in Vanilla. It's also a lot easier to get in the Enchanting Table than other enchantments, only requiring a minimum level of 5. However, it's rarity is rather low when there are a lot of enchantments to pick from and higher levels of Mending are far less common compared to other enchantments.
- 🏹 Power - can be applied to Crossbows. Reduced extra damage
I can't say the exact values due to how Arrow damage is calculated, but during my test, Power V arrow damage was reduced from 20 in vanilla to ~13.
- 🏹 Multishot - now a treasure enchantment and can be applied to Bows. Arrows are shot in a little bit of a spread rather than at strictly pre-defined angles.
- 🏹 Piercing - can be applied to Bows.
- 🏹 Flame - can be applied to Crossbows.
- 🏹 Punch - can be applied to Crossbows. Reduced knockback by 33%.
- 🏹 Infinity - now stacks with Mending, has III levels in total and conserves all types of Arrows. Now has a
12% * (level + 1)chance to save ammunition rather than always doing so. - 🏹 Quick Charge - reduced efficiency from
25% * levelto10% * (level + 1) - 🔥 Fire Aspect - now has IV levels in total, each level increases burn duration by 2 seconds.
- 🎣 Lure, Luck of The Sea - both enchaments have an extra level (new max is IV) and are easier to get from a lower-level Enchanting Table, but at the same time it is harder to get them in their higher levels.
- 🔱 Impaling - reworked to apply against any mob that is wet (AKA standing in water or rain), reduced damage increase from
2.5 * levelto+10% * (lvl + 1). - 🔱 Loyalty - Tridents return 25% faster.
- 🔱 Riptide - higher levels of Riptide are less common in the Enchanting Table.
- ⛏️ Silk Touch - reduced minimum level requried for it to appear in the Enchanting Table.
- 🌹 Thorns - reworked to scale better with levels.

By default, Nadir keeps repair costs of all items at 0. This means that while fusing enchantments, repairing items and performing other EXP-draining activities will still take just as many levels as it would normally do, the item's repair cost won't increment, meaning that it won't snowball into values too high for players to handle (AKA Too Expensive!).
This can be disabled by doing
/scoreboard players set #nadir.config nadir.config.remove_repair_cost 0and re-enabled by setting the score back to 1.
A lot of mobility and damage-reducing enchantments can be applied to Horse and Wolf armor. The list is as follows:
- All Protection variants (Horse)
They are also 4x as efficient on a Horse Armor than they are normally to accommodate for there being only 1 piece.
- Mending, Unbreaking (Wolf)
- Depth Strider
- Frost Walker
- Respiration
- Grip
- Swiftfooted
- Step
- Spring
- Thorns
- Feather Falling
- Soul Speed
Nadir should be compatible with most enchantment datapacks. Just make sure that Nadir loads first in order for everything to work properly.
