Another Enchanting Bug

[kperkins1982]

max enchant level is 111
but you can't do an enchant higher than your current lvl, so max level would be 55
this will prevent any enchant from being a V as they start at level 69

also

when you place a weapon or piece of armor, sometimes you have to click the enchant some 20 times before one is selected, so you can't pick the level that you want

however for tools it lets you click it once as intended and it works just fine

I think this is due to some enchants not being available? It seems like weapon enchants that might be given on vanilla MC arent given on HC so the result is nothing once the desired enchant is chosen

There is no max 'enchanting' in the code.
You can confuse it to have 1000 levels if you wanted. There has to be a cap somewhere, we chose that cap to be 55.

Because armors have so many enchants and we block a lot of them, you'll have to cycle through a lot of the armor enchants before you get an applicable one that works. Unfortunately there's no way around it right now without me recoding how the enchants are selected.

I suppose it isn't really your problem, but moreso the way the enchanting works in vanilla

this information actually helps greatly, showing me that its not that enchanting is bugged, but when that happens if I don't like the other numbers listed I should remove the item and put it back down instead of clicking 40 times resulting in something I don't want

I'm sure when they built enchanting they thought it'd be "really fun" to make it impossible to know what you were getting, which leads me to believe that they really only care about single player and not SMP, which is funny because I got bored of single player 3 days in, but have hundreds and hundreds of hours in SMP. Ug, not your problem but .... ug none the less

You might be able to get a texture/character map for the enchantment names.

heh yeah - someone on twitter figured out the naming system.
