Enchantments

From the Fear Nightfall wiki · Fear Nightfall

Enchantments are the item modifiers of Fear Nightfall. The pack's enchantment registry holds 66 entries: the 42 vanilla enchantments of Minecraft 1.21.1 and 24 enchantments added by five mods. Dungeons and Taverns adds 16 of them, Jaden's Nether Expansion adds 4, Butchery adds 2, and Farmer's Delight and Supplementaries add 1 each. Several of the added enchantments are found in the pack's horror structures, so a player who wants a full set has to explore dungeons, ruins and vaults as well as enchant gear.

The pack's enchantment setup relies on the mods that apply and display them: the Easy Magic enchanting table, the Easy Anvils anvil, and the Enchantment Descriptions tooltip. The pack's change log records no enchantment changes of its own.

Where enchantments come from

  • Enchanting table. Enchanting uses the Easy Magic table, which keeps items after the menu closes, offers rerolls and caps enchanting power at 15. Enchantments in the treasure tag, such as Stasis, are not offered by the table and are found only in loot.
  • Loot. Most of the mod-added enchantments are placed in structure chests and vaults. The Dungeons and Taverns Enchantments page lists each loot source. The Toxic Lair, the End Castle, Lighthouse and Ship and the Nether Keep and Port hold several of them.
  • Anvils. Enchanted books and items are combined at an anvil. The pack's Easy Anvils mod replaces every anvil with a version that has two input slots, and it lowers the anvil break chance.

Enchantments by mod

Vanilla

The 42 vanilla enchantments work as they do in Minecraft 1.21.1, including the newer Breach, Density and Wind Burst. The curses Curse of Binding and Curse of Vanishing are vanilla enchantments.

Dungeons and Taverns

Dungeons and Taverns adds 16 enchantments, the largest group of mod-added enchantments. They cover chestplates, boots, bows, crossbows, swords, elytra and the mod's boss sticks. Each one's level limit, effect and source is described on the Dungeons and Taverns Enchantments page. Three of them, Shulker Boss, Shulker Miniboss and Boss Behaviour, are used by the mod's bosses and are not placed in any loot table, so they are not obtained through normal play.

The most notable of these are:

  • Antidote, a chestplate enchantment that makes the wearer take poison damage from the chestplate and grants immunity to magic damage. It is not the same as the potions on the Antidotes page.
  • Conductivity Curse, a curse that can be applied to metal items. During a thunderstorm, when the holder can see the sky, a lightning bolt is summoned with a 10% chance every 20 ticks.
  • Multishot and Piercing, bow enchantments that the Toxic Lair boss vault holds.

Jaden's Nether Expansion

Jaden's Nether Expansion adds four enchantments for the shotguns, the Shotgun-Fist and the Pump-Charge Shotgun: Counterforce, Longshot, Recoil and Volley. Each one changes the weapon's bullet count, fire rate, self-recoil or invulnerability frames, and each is described on the Nether Expansion Effects and Enchantments page.

Note: Longshot has no effect in the current build. The mod declares it but never reads it, so it can be found in loot without changing the weapon.

Butchery

Butchery adds two single-level weapon enchantments, Butcher and Hunter. Both allow a carcass to drop from a kill, and they are covered on the Butchery Enchantments page.

Farmer's Delight

Farmer's Delight adds Backstabbing, which applies only to Knives.

Supplementaries

Supplementaries adds Stasis, which applies to the Slingshot and the bubble blower. On a slingshot it makes the projectile ignore gravity. On a bubble blower it places a solid bubble block. The Stasis page gives the numbers for both uses.

Tooltips and descriptions

Nearly every enchantment in the pack has a short description on its item tooltip, supplied by Enchantment Descriptions. The descriptions are most useful for the modded enchantments, which vanilla tooltips do not explain. The mod's options hide the lines until Shift is held, or limit them to the enchanting table or to enchanted books. The pack uses the default options.

Horror context

Several of the mod-added enchantments are placed in the pack's horror structures. The Toxic Lair is one of the horror structures that Fear Nightfall places about 30% closer together, and it is weighted 6× where it shares a set with other structures. Its boss vault holds several of the enchantments on the Dungeons and Taverns Enchantments page. The curses are the most direct horror element: the Conductivity Curse strikes during storms, and many Improved EXP descriptions in Enchantment Descriptions describe harmful effects. For the wider horror setting of the pack, see Horror and Spooky Content.

Tips

  • Check a curse's effect in the tooltip before equipping it. The Enchantment Descriptions mod shows the full line under each enchantment name.
  • The Dungeons and Taverns Enchantments Antidote is a chestplate enchantment. Do not confuse it with the Antidote potions.
  • Stasis is a treasure enchantment. Each roll of an end city chest loot table has a 25% chance to add a Stasis book, so end cities are one source of it.
