Enchantment Descriptions in FTB StoneBlock 4

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Enchantment Descriptions is a lightweight, client-side mod that adds a short description of each enchantment to the tooltip of an enchanted book. Hover over a book and you can see what the enchantment does without looking it up.^[1]

It supports all the vanilla enchantments in over 13 languages, and most modded enchantments are supported too.^[1]

It's for anyone who wants to know what a book does before using it or spending resources on it. It's a quality-of-life tool, so there's nothing to craft and nothing to unlock.^[1]

In this pack

This pack version ships Enchantment Descriptions 21.1.11, using the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21.1. It was first included in an earlier pack release, 2.25 or before.^[2]

Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide

Enchantment Descriptions is a light weight, client-side mod. It adds a description of each enchantment to the tooltip of an enchanted book. So the first step is not crafting anything: you just look at the book.^[1]

How to use it

1. Get hold of an enchanted book, then hover over it in your inventory or in a chest.^[1]
2. Read the description added to the tooltip. It explains what the enchantment does, so you don't have to guess or look it up.^[1]
3. Do this before you spend a book on a tool or armour piece, so you know what you are putting on it.^[1]

What the descriptions look like

The mod covers all vanilla enchantments in over 13 languages, and most modded enchantments are supported too. The descriptions come from the mod's own language file, and they are short, plain sentences.^[1][3]

• Thundering: "Attacks strike the target with lightning."^[3]
• Guarding Strike: "Defeating enemies boosts your defence temporarily."^[3]
• Autosmelt: "Breaking a block will smelt it instead."^[3]
• Double jump: "Allows the user to jump twice."^[3]

Enchantment Descriptions is a small, light weight, client-side mod. It has no machines, power or item handling to set up. It does one job: it adds a description of an enchantment to the tooltip of an enchanted book.^[1]

What you see in game

Hover over an enchanted book and the tooltip explains what the enchantment does, so you don't have to look it up. The mod covers all vanilla enchantments in over 13 languages, and most modded enchantments are supported too.^[1]

The descriptions live in the mod's own language file. Each entry is a text key for one enchantment, usually ending in .desc, with a one-line explanation as its value.^[3]

Modded enchantments with descriptions

The language file has entries for enchantments from several other mods, so their books are explained too. These are the enchantment namespaces that appear in the part of the file the sources show:^[3]

• betterarcheology, for example Tunneling, which mines the block below the target block as well.^[3]
• create_sa, for example Digging, which allows the drill to dig a bigger hole.^[3]
• deeperdarker, for example Catalysis, where killing mobs spreads sculk nearby.^[3]
• dungeonsenchantments, for example Weakening, where attacks temporarily weaken the enemy.^[3]
• grapplemod, for example the sliding enchantment, which allows the user to slide using built up momentum.^[3]
• improved_exp, which has by far the most entries, for example Fertilizing, where pressing the Z key will bonemeal nearby blocks.^[3]

Other namespaces in the file include endlessbiomes, gofish and hunterillager. The sources only show part of the file, so this is not a full list.^[3]

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide

Enchantment Descriptions is a light weight client-side mod that adds enchantment descriptions to the tooltip of enchanted books. It has only a handful of options, and in this pack every one of them is left at the mod default. The pack changes nothing here, so what you see below is also what you get out of the box.^[1][4]

When descriptions show up

• enabled.value is true, which is the default. This is the master switch for the mod and its features.^[4]
• require_keybind.value is false, which is the default. If you turn it on, descriptions only appear while you hold the shift key.^[4]
• only_on_books.value is false, which is the default. Turn it on and descriptions only display when you look at an enchanted book.^[4]
• only_in_enchanting_table.value is false, which is the default. Turn it on and descriptions only display inside the enchanting table GUI.^[4]

How descriptions look

• style.value.color is dark_gray, the same as the default. The style option controls the color, format, font and other visual properties of the description text.^[4]
• prefix.value and suffix.value are both empty strings, matching the defaults. They add text to the start and end of each description, and the prefix can be used for indents and other decorators.^[4]
• activate_text.value.color is dark_gray and activate_text.value.translate is enchdesc.activate.message, both the defaults. This is the hint text shown when require_keybind is enabled and you are not holding the keybind.^[4]

FTB StoneBlock 4 1.21.0 ships Enchantment Descriptions 21.1.11. The mod has been in the pack since FTB StoneBlock 4 1.0.0 or earlier.^[5]

The notes below come from the mod's own changelogs for its most recent releases. The sources here include no pack changelog entries for this mod, so they don't show when the pack moved between these versions.^[6][7][8]

Mod releases

• 21.1.11: fixed the sweeping edge description in various languages. This is the version your pack has.^[5][6]
• 21.1.10: fixed potential crashes when looking up enchantment IDs, thanks to Klisz.^[7]
• 21.1.9: optimized images.^[8]

These are all small fixes and clean-ups, nothing that changes how the mod works.^[6][7][8]
