[Suggestion] Add a 'use points instead of levels' config option
by Samuel Aug. 20, 2026

Hi there, our server is using Flat EXP Costs ( https://modrinth.com/mod/flat-exp-costs) to fix the frustrating XP costs without touching the vanilla level curve. That mod simply changes the XP cost in anvils and enchanting tables to consume raw points instead of levels. We'd love to use your mod as well, but there's currently no way to make its XP costs align with the other system, which is why I'm requesting an extra config option that changes the output of all the "cost_function" calculations to be raw XP points instead of levels. We'd be thrilled if you made this happen!

Configuration GUI
by mschae July 7, 2026

I'm creating this thread as a “tracking issue” for a config GUI. One of the most common questions I get is about how to reduce the disenchantment cost. The mod has had a config file to adjust that for a long time now, but it's not exactly easy to use (especially due to the nested cost function definitions). There should be a GUI for it. A problem that will come up is that the mod works server-side, so the majority of configurable values will only apply in singleplayer. Maybe there could be a thing that displays the current config as JSON though, so that you can copy it when setting up a dedicated server? As for how to make the config screen, I'll probably write it by hand using vanilla classes. I know there are quite a few libraries for this, and I've also been playing around with the idea of making my own (based on the idea that, just as you can define a Codec and PacketCodec for the same class, you could have some kind of ConfigCodec), but I think it wouldn't be expressive enough and the vanilla classes honestly don't seem to be that bad to use directly. Now I'll just have to find the motivation and time to actually do this...

Make items enchantable only once

Using this mod, it's possible to enchant the same item infinitely and keep getting new enchantments from it. Maybe there could be a setting that prevents using the enchantment table on items that have previously been disenchanted?

Alternative cost display

In the "dedicated_server_options" section of the mod's config, there's an "alternative_cost_display_enabled" setting. This is supposed to insert the disenchantment cost into the tooltip of the result item, so that it is visible to vanilla clients. However, this feature has been broken since at least Minecraft 1.21, or maybe even longer. It would be great to reimplement this at some point in the latest version.
