Understanding Enchantment Files

Enchantment files are in JSON format and contain several important sections, json is a format that's easy to understand, look at.

Enchantment JSON Content

{
    "description": {
        "translate": "enchantment.enchantplus.name",
        "fallback": "Display Name"
    },
    "exclusive_set": "#enchantplus:exclusive_set/group",
    "supported_items": "#minecraft:enchantable/item_type",
    "weight": 8,              // Rarity (higher = more common)
    "max_level": 5,           // Maximum enchantment level
    "min_cost": {             // Minimum enchanting table cost

Example with Life+

The Life+ enchantment (armor/lifeplus.json) adds extra health to the player. By default, it adds 2 health points (1 heart) per level. And the Content. Here's an example of how to increase the number of hearts per level.

1

Open the .zip/jar

Open the contents of the datapack, or extract it with Windows 11 or Winrar. (For Mac/Linux I don't know)

For the jar, I recommend editing without unzipping the jar

2

Locate

Go to the file at data/enchantplus/enchantment/armor/lifeplus.json and open it with the editor of your choice

3

Find the value to replace

Find the effects section and change the base and per_level_above_first values from 2 to 4:

• The first named base indicates the value at level 1

• The second named per_level_above_first indicates the value to add for each level.

4

Save and it's done !

All that's left to do is save and we're done. Transform it into a zip file, don't forget to restart your world !

making sure to select the “data and pack.mcmeta” folder. if you zip the parent folder, it won't be any good.
