Enchanting

Alinea changes the enchantment system in three main ways:

It changes some vanilla enchantments to have a higher maximum level.
It allows some enchantments to go beyond their base maximum level, turning them unstable, and requiring a costly polishing process to stabilise them.
It adds new enchantments that are not available in vanilla Minecraft, such as Quarry and Orb Booster

Enchantment Level Limits

The following table shows the maximum stable and unstable levels for each enchantment. As you can see, some vanilla enchantments have been changed to have a higher maximum level.

Unstable Enchanting

Some enchantments can be pushed beyond their stable maximum level to become unstable. The catch is that unstable enchantments cannot be used until they are stabilised.

To stabilise an enchantment, you must combine it with enchantment polish in an anvil. You will need one unit of polish for each level of the enchantment beyond its stable maximum. Enchantment polish can be crafted, but requires a lot of lapis lazuli and diamonds.

Due to its cost, unstable enchanting is considered an end-game process.

Alinea Enchantments

Alinea adds many new enchantments to the game. Below is an overview of our enchantments.

Binding

Binding should not be confused with Curse of Binding. Binding is not a curse, and can be applied to nearly any piece of equipment in the game. Items enchanted with binding will stay with the player after they die, similar to the keepInventory game rule.

When the player dies, all items with binding will lose a level of binding, until they reach level I, after which they will lose the binding enchantment entirely. Players can re-apply the binding enchantment to their items using an anvil and an enchanted book.

Bulk Breaking Enchantments

Bulk breaking enchantments are enchantments that allow players to break multiple blocks at once.

Excavator

Excavator is an enchantment for shovels that will increase the radius of blocks that are broken when the player mines a block. Much like the Quarry enchantment, the radius only extends horizontally, and not vertically, and never to blocks that have another block above them. The maximum number of blocks broken at once by an Excavator-enchanted shovel depends on the level of the enchantment.

Enchantment Level	Number of Blocks Broken
I	8
II	12
III	16
IV	20
V	24

XI	48
XII	52
XIII	56
XIV	60
XV	64
XVI	68
XVII	72
XVIII	76
XIX	80
XX	84

Excavator only applies to clay, dirt, gravel, sand, grass, and snow.

Harvest

Harvest is an enchantment for hoes, that much like Quarry and Excavator will increase the radius of blocks that are broken when the player breaks a crop. The maximum number of crops broken by a harvest-enchanted hoe will increase by the level of the enchantment. This means that a high-level harvester-enchanted hoe can potentially harvest an entire field of crops in a single swing.

Quarry

Quarry is an enchantment for pickaxes that will increase the radius of blocks that are broken when the player mines a block. The radius only extends horizontally, and not vertically, and never to blocks that have another block above them. The maximum number of blocks broken at once by a Quarry-enchanted pickaxe depends on the level of the enchantment.

Blackstone
Cobbled Deepslate
Cobblestone
Deepslate
Diorite
Dripstone Block
Granite
Mossy Cobblestone
Netherrack
Red Sandstone
Sandstone
Stone
Terracotta (and its coloured variants)
Tuff

Tree Feller

When an axe enchanted with Tree Feller is used to break a log block, it will also break all log blocks connected to it, up to a certain limit, and prioritising higher blocks. The maximum number of blocks broken at once by a tree feller-enchanted axe depends on the level of the enchantment.

Enchantment Level	Number of Blocks Broken
I	3
II	9

IV	33

XVII	579
XVIII	649
XIX	723
XX	801

When combined with Tree Shaker, also leaves connected to the logs, and logs that are connected to broken leaves but not to the original log, will also be broken.

Tree Shaker

When an axe or shears enchanted with Tree Shaker is used to break a leaf block, it will also break all leaf blocks connected to it, up to a certain limit. The maximum number of blocks broken at once by a tree shaker-enchanted axe depends on the level of the enchantment.

Enchantment Level	Number of Blocks Broken
I	12
II	24
III	36

XVIII	216
XIX	228
XX	240

When a Tree Shaker-enchanted axe is used to break a leaf block, even if that axe also has Tree Feller, only the leaves will be broken. The logs will remain.

Vein Miner

Vein Miner is an enchantment for pickaxes that will break entire veins of ore blocks when the player mines a single ore block. The maximum number of blocks broken at once by a Vein Miner-enchanted pickaxe depends on the level of the enchantment.

Charged Enchantments

Charged enchantments are variants of existing enchantments that have their effect work 'absolutely'. They are extremely rare enchantments that most players will never see in their lifetime.

Charged Silk Touch

Charged silk touch is the charged variant of the silk touch enchantment. A pickaxe enchanted with charged silk touch will be able to break a spawner without destroying it. The spawner will drop as an item and can be placed again somewhere else. It is the only way to move spawners.

Charged silk touch can only be obtained through a maximum-level librarian villager, where it will cost a stack of enchantment polish, or as a very rare loot item from a dungeon chest.

Charged Silk Touch will always be paired with Curse of Fragility and Curse of Immutability. This makes any charged silk touch pickaxe will break after a single use and cannot be repaired.

Despite its name, charged silk touch does not work like regular silk touch. Blocks that typically require silk touch to be mined, such as glowstone and glass, will not drop when mined with a pickaxe enchanted with charged silk touch.

Charged Unbreaking

Charged unbreaking is the charged variant of the unbreaking enchantment. Items enchanted with charged unbreaking will never lose durability, and will thus never break. Charged unbreaking can only be obtained through a maximum-level librarian villager, where it will cost a stack of enchantment polish. It always comes with curse of immutability, which makes the item unrepairable. This means it is important to only apply the enchantment to items that will never need another enchantment applied to them.

Curses

Alinea does not only add new regular enchantments, but also new curses.

Curse of Butterfingers

Items enchanted with the Curse of Butterfingers will have a chance to be dropped when the player swings the item, for example, when attacking an entity or breaking a block. The chance of the item being dropped depends on the level of the curse.

Enchantment Level	Chance of Dropping
I	1.00%
II	1.02%
III	1.04%
IV	1.19%
V	1.54%
VI	2.21%
VII	3.29%
VIII	4.89%
IX	7.09%
X	10.00%
XI	13.72%
XII	18.35%
XIII	23.99%
XIV	30.73%
XV	38.68%
XVI	47.94%
XVII	58.60%
XVIII	70.76%
XIX	84.53%
XX	100.00%

Curse of Fragility

Items enchanted with Curse of Fragility will break instantly when they lose any amount of durability. When paired with Warranty, the item will essentially lose a level of warranty for every point of durability lost.

Curse of Immutability

Items which have been cursed with immutability cannot have any new enchantments applied to them, or have any existing enchantments upgraded. All equipment obtained through villager trading or through mob drops will have Curse of Immutability. It also always comes on any tool with a charged enchantment.

A grindstone can still be used to remove all non-curse enchantments from an item cursed with immutability.

Curse of Inexperience

Curse of Inexperience is the opposite of the Orb Booster enchantment. Items enchanted with Curse of Inexperience will not drop any experience orbs when they are used to break blocks or kill entities.

Crusher

Pickaxes or shovels enchanted with Crusher will have a probability to 'crush' the block they are used to break. What exactly this means depends on the block being broken.

Block	Item Dropped
Andesite	Gravel
Cobblestone	Gravel
Deepslate Bricks	Cracked Deepslate Bricks
Deepslate Tiles	Cracked Deepslate Tiles
Diorite	Gravel
Granite	Gravel
Gravel	Sand
Nether Bricks	Cracked Nether Bricks
Polished Blackstone Bricks	Cracked Polished Blackstone
Red Sand	Clay
Sand	Clay
Stone Bricks	Cracked Stone Bricks
Stone Slab	Cobblestone Slab
Stone Stairs	Cobblestone Stairs

Each level of crusher increases the probability of the block being crushed by 10%, maxing out at 100% at level X.

Hoover

When a player mines a block or kills an entity with a hoover-enchanted tool, the items that would normally drop will instead teleport directly into the player's inventory. It is particularly useful in combination with Vein Miner and Quarry enchantments, as it will hoover up all the items at once.

If the player's inventory is full, the items will drop, but they will drop from the player's position, not the block or entity that was mined or killed.

Orb Booster

Orb Booster is an enchantment for weapons and tools that will increase the amount of experience orbs dropped from blocks mined or entities killed. The amount it increases by 10% per level.

Enchantment Level	Experience Multiplier
I	1.10×
II	1.21×
III	1.33×
IV	1.46×
V	1.61×
VI	1.77×
VII	1.95×
VIII	2.14×
IX	2.36×
X	2.59×
XI	2.85×
XII	3.14×
XIII	3.45×
XIV	3.80×
XV	4.18×
XVI	4.59×
XVII	5.05×
XVIII	5.56×
XIX	6.12×
XX	6.73×

Planter

When a hoe with planter is used to break a crop, and the player has seeds of the same type in their inventory, the seeds will be replanted in the same block automatically. This enchantment is particularly useful in combination with Harvest, as it will allow the player to harvest and replant an entire field of crops in a single swing.

When the player combines Planter with Hoover, the player does not need to have seeds in their inventory for the enchantment to work. The enchantment will instead consume the hoovered seeds and use them.

Stone Grafting

Stone Grafting works similar to Mending, but uses up stone instead of experience. Items enchanted with Stone Grafter will repair when the player picks up any stone block. Below is a list of blocks that are considered stone for the purpose of the stone grafter enchantment:

Andesite
Blackstone
Cobbled Deepslate
Cobblestone
Deepslate
Diorite
Endstone
Granite
Sandstone
Stone
Terracotta
Tuff

Warranty

When an item with Warranty runs out of durability, instead of breaking, it will be repaired to full durability, and a level of warranty will be consumed.

This essentially gives an item an extra number of durability bars equal to the number of levels of warranty it has. This is the same amount of extra durability that putting Unbreaking on an item would give it. However, warranty will eventually run out, while unbreaking will not. Still, warranty is usually much cheaper to obtain than unbreaking.
