Enchanting

No Nonsense has a custom **enchanting** system based on lapis lazuli that does away with the unpredictability of vanilla mechanics. A number of custom enchantments are available, including Soul Bound, which is the only way to prevent items from being lost on death.

## Enchanting tables

Enchantments in the enchantment table are non-random, and are based on the amount of lapis that is put in the table. Filling up the lapis slot one item at a time allows you to view all the options. The enchanting table only grants one enchantment at a time, but you can put the desired enchantment on a book and put it on your item using an anvil.

In addition to the lapis cost, each enchantment in the table has a minimum level requirement from 1–9. (For a list of enchantment costs and level requirements, see the table below.)

## Anvils

Anvils can be used to add enchantments to an item with enchanted books. This process costs a fixed amount of lapis per enchantment (indicated in the result slot of the anvil), which is taken from your inventory. (For a list of lapis costs, see the table below.) Renaming an item is always free.

Vanilla items can be repaired by combining them with their respective materials, but this is not the case for custom items. Instead, custom items can be repaired by combining them with a Universal Repair Kit in an anvil, or alternatively, through Mending or with the use of Blacksmith Oil.

Hanging the Blacksmith Hammer in an item frame within three blocks of an anvil makes damaging it less likely. Hanging Vifil's Blacksmith Hammer makes the anvil unbreakable.

## Other enchantment sources

Librarians are especially useful as an alternative to the enchanting table, especially for low-level players who may be stymied by the table's level requirements. Breaking and replacing a lectern allows you to reroll a librarian's first trades until it has a desirable enchantment like Mending (which is not available from the table).

As diamonds are hard to come by early on, one of the best ways to acquire equipment for the Starter Dungeon is by trading with armorers and weaponsmiths, who sell pre-enchanted diamond gear.

As in vanilla, bartering with piglins and raiding bastions are the only ways to acquire the Soul Speed enchantment.

Fishing for enchanted books in open water remains an option if you are sufficiently patient.

## Unenchanting

Putting an enchanted item through a grindstone removes the enchantment and awards some lapis lazuli. Unenchanting mob drops in this way can be a good way to earn lapis.

### Unenchantment Stone

The Unenchantment Stone is a special grindstone that can be found at the exit of Caraman's Hideaway. It can be used to wipe all enchantments from an item and return them in the form of enchanted books. This allows valuable enchantments to be transfered to a new item when desired.

To use the Unenchantment Stone, open its interface by right-clicking and place the desired item in the top left slot. All the enchanted books that will be received from unenchanting are shown on the bottom. Removing the item from the top right slot will give you the unenchanted item and the books.

## Enchantment costs

Each level of an enchantment costs twice the lapis of the previous level. The lapis cost to add an enchantment in the anvil is 1/4 the cost of adding it on the enchanting table (rounded down).

For every 16 lapis, the level requirement in an enchanting table goes up by 1.
