Remove enchantment level limits in anvils
1.12 — 1.21+ | Bukkit · Spigot · Paper
What does it do?
Two Sharpness V swords combine to Sharpness VI. Not V. Keep combining until you hit your configured cap (up to 255). No more vanilla anvil ceiling stopping you at max level.
Vanilla caps Sharpness at V. This plugin lets you set your own limits — per enchant, per server.
Features
- Unlimited combining — Same-level enchants give +1. Higher level wins. Never reduces below existing.
- Per-enchant config — Set max levels individually (1—255). Enchants not listed use vanilla defaults.
- Tool compatibility control — Block enchants from going on wrong item types (Silk Touch on a sword? Not anymore.)
- Conflict management — Hard-blocked pairs (Fortune/Silk Touch, Loyalty/Riptide) always enforced. 5 toggleable groups for damage, protection, bow, boots, crossbow.
- Cost strategies —
clampcaps cost at 39 (never "Too Expensive").raise-caplifts the limit entirely on 1.13+. - Prior-work penalty reset — Combined items come out with 0 penalty. Combine 50 times, cost stays stable.
- Cross-version — Works on 1.8 through 1.21+ via reflection. No NMS.
- Lightweight — Zero dependencies. Drop the jar in
plugins/and go.
