Current dev status:

Lithial will be the one handling the Forge port and updates while I'm away.
He is a very talented coder, and so I've given him my source code.

As for me...

Spoiler:

I'm currently engaged in full time employment whilst at the same time working on a sandbox platformer, hence why I needed to hand control of the updates over to him.

If you still want to reach me:
I'm slowly starting to use Twitter, with the fortune of negotiating an hour of work each day:

  - ID: 110

Other Changes:

• Counter parry timer now resets properly when you take damage, and reblock.
  
• Verticality and knockback now effect enemies during a counter parry of a melee attack.
  
• Changed name of Regeneration to Healing. To avoid confusion with the potion effect (I may do the same with high jump and swiftness because they too are different).
  
• Counter parrying now consumes a single sword use.
  
• Fixed various glitches.

Version 1.1
New Enchantments

• Penetrate: Strikes bypass armor.
  Minimum sword damage (ignoring armor)=  Level/3* base sword damage
  Extra Damage: Level * 1/2 heart/
  
  
• Durability: Armor.
  Armor last twice as long
  (level 15 enchantment required).

Bug Fixes

• Fix always appearing at end of line, glitch has been removed.

Other Changes

• Blast has a slightly stronger knockback effect, and goes to level 3.
  
• Counter parry, can now partially block potion damage, above level 1.
  
• Splash effect potions now affect giant boss mobs (e.g. the Naga in twilight forest), properly.

Version 1.0
Added support for Minecraft 1.3.2

enchantments:

• Blast (Bow)
  
  
• Splash Venom (Bow)
  
  
• Regen (Chest plate)
  See video above to see stats/see them in action

Fixes:

• Fixed glitch with splash slowness.
  
  
• Readjusted mechanics for counter parry. It's more responsive now.
  
  
• You can counter parry melee attacks, without the enchantment (though it will only be 1/2 heart of damage and level 1 slowness for 1.5 seconds). Thought I'd add that in due to latency issues

Known Bugs (with Vanilla Minecraft that effect this mod):

Spoiler:

The following are glitches with Vanilla Minecraft, not the mod. but nonetheless interfere with its functionality:

• In creative mode, moving an armor item from your inventory slots onto your armor slots.
  Causes it to be destroyed on the server side (though it will still show up on the client side).
  This stops the armor from working and next time you re-enter the game, the armor item will be gone.
  Thankfully this glitch is only in creative mode.
  
  
• Potion effects of speed/slowness don't affect passive mobs like sheep/cows/chickens
  when they sprint.

RECOMMENDED ENCHANTING SYSTEM MODS:
To get full use out of these enchantments I recommend one of the following:

• ENCHANTING PLUS:
  Developer XkYouChoux
  
• SUPERIOR ENCHANTING (also updated for Minecraft 1.3.2):
  Developer: glider521al (i.e. me)

CREDITS:

Spoiler:

NOTE: All source code, and the choice of stats and implementation is my own

First ! and i love this lol, ive been looking for this the whole day xd and then you came

[TSAMP1924]

How about an upwards knockback enchantment for swords that makes mobs fly up when you hit them just like the Gravitite sword from the Aether mod?

I think that would be cool to have something like that - the higher the level the higher the mobs fly.

Hmmm, good idea, we could call the enchantment "Uppercut".
Only thing is it would make blazes/flying ranged units in other mods a nightmare to fight, but I guess there will be disadvantages with such perks.
If enough people support this idea/have suggestions for tweaking than I'll implement it in the next release.

[azert123(fr)]

Very good idea i will test now and hope you will add more and more enchantement

[Plushii]

Glad this mod is back!
I missed it so much...
Thank you for continuing the mod!

[MegaMuffin]

I made quite an extensive mod review on this mod

[Tythegreat]

Ah cool mod. Maybe make some of these higher than 50? (Or 30 when the update finally comes out.)

[glider521al]

Just Fixed a glitch with the WISDOM enchantment, crashing the game, as reported by MegaMuffin.

Special thanks to MegaMuffin and Muzuh for taking the time to post 2 video reviews.

They're all below 30, in preparation for the the 1.3 update, and are quite similar in costs to their counterparts
(e.g. poison aspect has about the same chance and slightly less cost than the fire aspect enchantment).

I have many more enchantments to add to the mod, the bulk of them will probably be added during 1.3.

NOTE: Alot of ideas are very similar to an older enchantments mod by xkyouchoux.
He kindly gave me permission to reuse them for this mod, which I hope will revive the ideas the community has for enchanting, and do justice to his legacy.

Note you will need Modloader and PlayerAPI installed

10. COUNTER PARRY (ID: 86);
-Advanced Counter Blocking: See below;
-Additional protection of about 1/2 heart per level when blocking.

ANOTHER GAME MECHANIC: Counter Blocking

Spoiler:

A new mechanic that brings the art of blocking to a whole new level.

If you time your parries correctly within 0.75 seconds of the hit
(without spamming the right mouse button) you can:

• Reduce damage by 1/2 heart * (parry level+1);
  
  
• Block blaze/dispensor fireballs.
  
  
• Apply damage to attacker (upto 1/2 heart per (parry_level +1)).
  
  
• Slow attacker down for 1.5 seconds (again dependant on parry level).
  
  
• Arrow Redirection:
  
  • LVL1-Parry: Arrows randomly deflected
    
    
  • LVL2-Parry: Arrows reflected back at source at 66% of the speed.
    
    
  • LVL3-Parry: Arrow  reflected back at source at full speed;

Have fun giving skeletons a taste of their own medicine!

RECOMMENDED ENCHANTING SYSTEM MODS:
To get full use out of these enchantments I recommend one of the following:

• ENCHANTING PLUS (SSP):
  Developer XkYouChoux
  
• SUPERIOR ENCHANTING (SSP/SMP):
  Developer: glider521al (i.e. me)

FUTURE OF THIS MOD:

• Multiplayer ports are planned to be released during 1.3
  
• Will be dividing this mod into two components:
  
  • PlayerAPI compatible enchantments (these will be ported to multiplayer first) including the 10 already in this mod.
    
    
  • Worldly Enchantments: All other enchantments will be single player for many weeks, as unlike the first category, they require editing of the base classes/creating new entities.
    XkYouChoux offered to help with this, so I plan on collaborating on the 2nd category. This will contain most of the enchantments.
• I'm open to suggestions for new enchantments/improvements.

this is so cool you should add like a shmelter tool so when you hit gold or iron ore you get the ingot instead of a block

[collda689]

You should add this enchantment to the armor were when someone hits you they get burnt. I think you should name this enchantment magma armor.

[Zambonifofex]

work with better enchanting?

[theminecraftdude54]

Hey, if you want I have a youtube channel and I can make a video on all of the enchantments and how exactly to install it. Try to message me back. My youtube channel is: TheMinecraftDude54. So if you are interested I would love to do one. You could put the video on this post and it would make viewers easier and I get channel views, so tell me what you think.

XkYouChoux had a similair idea, calling it burning aspect.

Once playerAPI adds a way for changing the drops of blocks (no base classes changed in the mod), I could cause fortune to make iron/gold ingots to drop from their respective ores (instead of the block itself).

collda689, on 18 July 2012 - 07:12 PM, said:

Hmmm, that sounds a bit overpowered, especially in multiplayer.
For now I'll be focusing on enchantments that keep the game balanced, and tie in with the theme.
Thanks for your input though.

Yes, It works with any enchanting mod including

• SUPERIOR ENCHANTING (SSP/SMP):
  which I made.
  
• Sensible Enchanting
  
• Enchant View
  
• Enchanting Plus (better Enchanting)
  Made by XkYouChoux.

Sure. Judging for your youtube channel, you're quite good at making let's play videos.
So it would be an honor
