      Syndicate made a meta for the old enchants. I actually prefer them. You needed to pay attention to the levels as well as the amount of words written down. Generally the enchants you wanna look for have a lot of words but if you’re going for something like silk touch you’d need a specific level and less text as silk touch usually doesn’t come with much else attached. Idk it’s still most rng but I still liked it.

    Slightly unrelated, but I recently found a mod called "Igneo's combat revamp" that overhauls the enchanting system. What I like about it is it doesn't make enchantments "stat effects this, stat effects that." It reworks enchantments to the point that each do something special. (Though, it moves some of the vanilla enchants to armor trims which is also nice)
    Playing through that mod made me wish the vanilla enchants worked that way

    About the "XP Grind is Real" section: it wasn't actually as bad as stated here. Yes it was still very slow, but it wasn't "spam click dungeon XP farms for hours" bad. Around that time, Etho came out with his blaze farm design that almost everyone used. Blaze drop more XP than other mobs, and there was no entity cramming back then, so you could AFK for a while and come back to hundred of blazes. And yes, there was no sweeping edge enchantments, but the standard way to kill hundreds of mobs was to throw a damage potion at them. So as long as you were willing to AFK and check back every now and then, it would only take a a minute of actual gameplay to get back to level 50.

    Use these mods:
    - Fixed Anvil Repair Cost -
    Makes some changes to the anvil.
    You can set how many levels a repair should cost, forever, the cost does not increase.
    It's also possible to set the amount of materials needed for a repair and how much percent an item should be repaired by an action.
    - Grind Enchantments -
    adds a few new features to the grindstone.
    You can put an enchanted item and a book into the grindstone, and you will get the enchantments onto the book (and your unenchanted item back).
    If you put an enchanted book into the top slot and an empty (or also already enchanted) book into the bottom slot of the grindstone, the enchantment at the top of the first book will be put onto the other book.
    This is useful if you have a book that has enchantments for different types of items (for example, a book with Efficiency and Protection), so you can separate them.
    (Lastly, if you guys have good mods fixing some aspects of the enchanting and repairing system, please share!)

    i actually have a singleplayer world where i used the seed of my first world and generated it in the original version i started in (B1.5) and slowly upgrade it over time by completing certain set goals i make for the version, and to upgrade from 1.0 obviously doing a lv50 enchant had to be one of the goals. it took forever afking for it lol. at least the zombie farm i made for it came in handy later on when i upgraded to a version with carrots and potatos.

    I think the new enchanting interface/method is pretty much ideal. You get a glimpse of what enchant(s) you're gonna get and it doesn't eat up all of your levels.
    However, there is the issue that players can get up to fully enchanted diamond/netherite gear very quickly. I don't necessarily think this is a problem for servers that don't do PvP, but I think there should at least be a way to make such feats much more difficult should the admins wish.
    Idk. I look back at old PvP and see people playing it smart even if they have clearly better gear. Now every fight looks like a slapping match waiting to see whose armour/shield/weapon breaks first.
    The game made getting so powerful much, much easier over time, and I'm not sure if I enjoy that now that I'm thinking about it.

    I have played Minecraft since 2012, not only was the enchantment system horrible. The entire RNG system was the worst thing ever made. Recently on paper, the rng system was redone and is better and a lot more random, minecraft still has an old enchantment system that can be manipulated, yes thats right, you can drop blocks on the ground to choose what enchant you want on your weapons.

  • @SwedetasticGames
    @SwedetasticGames 24 дня назад +5

    One thing I will say, is that the new enchanting system we have would be better without Mending in the game. Sure, having a supermegaultimate set of weapons and armor feels great, but with how early you can achieve that on full Diamond gear nowadays (without even mining if you're a villager afficionado) along with how easy it is to aquire Mending, means within just 2-8 hours in a fresh world you will no longer have any need for half the games resources. I'd much rather they made the repair cost uncapped, made it scale much slower, and be reduced depending on how much of the material for repairing you used. This would probably require a tweak to how aquiring Netherite works, or simply making Netherite Tools and Armour have 10x-20x as much durability as they do currently. Make Elytras not delete themselves if you run out of durability, or have it contain Mending by default.
    An alternative to this is simply making diamonds more usefull in the endgame, with things such as lava boats and/or a new type of Super Rail or Super Minecart.
    For a game called Minecraft, nowadays actually mining is becoming less and less of a part of the longterm gameplay and that is kind of sad.

      I respectfully disagree. It's a game about freedom and creativity; if you want to stick to naturally finding books, or literally only using the Enchant table, you can. If you want to be ultra cheesy, pull out all the tricks, that's okay too. I don't use Elytras, and never bothered with specific villager hunting 'til recently, and i still had fun. Look at transportation and weapons and you'll see similar alternative routes.
      The old system, however, railroads you into grinding, followed by mindless, boring clicking for upwards of half an hour, that takes all your levels with no hint of what you may get, with no alternative option, and no repairing. Fix up a few of these and maybe it'll be fine, but as it stood, it's a disrespect to the player.

    The old enchanting wasn't that random IMO. The symbols in enchantment usually had patterns. For example, you can try to search for "Enchanter translation pack" or something. The word "xyzzy" (or enchantment with 2 upside U's in middle) usually meant bane of arthropods at least 4 out of 5 times for me. I believe mojang unconnected these words in enchanting table to actual enchantments later

    the old system made it so that for every game you never stuck to just using whatever is the objectively best, you may use a pickaxe without fortune because you simply didn't get it, or use armor with fire prot 3, because you were unlucky, it made the game actually fun instead of you just being op with a few spins of the enchantment table that guarantees incredible success. it being expensive also was good, since back then xp farms weren't even viable, so you actually got the XP through gameplay and the enchantment was a cool reward for your progress, instead of you just sitting at a mob farm for hours to get your OP gear.
    of course I speak of the 1.3+ system, which was obviously far better
