v1.2.2. July 13th, 2025

• Enchantology updated to Minecraft 1.21.7
  • Still compatible with 1.21.5 & 1.21.6.

v1.2.1. April 13th, 2025

• Enchantology updated to Minecraft 1.21.5
• Enchantment changes:
  • Alchemic
    • Fixed bug where opening container (e.g., chest) would remove empty bottle from mainhand.
  • Curse of Fatigue
    • Fixed incorrect armor compatibility.
  • Curse of the Godfather
    • No longer summons minecraft:interaction entity to attribute explosion to.
    • Fixed bug where all armor would break upon explosion.
    • Fixed bug where curse would activate without entering a vehicle.
  • Quarrying
    • Fixed bug where item modifiers would apply to items without "Quarrying" enchantment.
    • No longer uses item modifiers.
  • Added "Frost Trotter" and "Alchemic" to tag "enchantment/on_random_loot".
• Technical Changes:
  • Added "fix" functions to repair item components of items impacted by "Quarrying" in v1.2.0.
    • Due to a bug in the prior verison, some items may have received item modifiers which treat that item as a netherite pickaxe. Due to the nature of NBT data, updating to the latest version of Enchantology does not automatically fix this. If only a handful of items are affected, it is recommended you simply spawn new items in. If the issue is more widespread, the function "enchantology:quarrying/fixes/remove_item_modifier" has been added to remove the item modifiers in bulk. Place the affected items in a spruce chest boat and a repeating command block (redstone activated) adjacent to it. In the command block, call the above function using "/function enchantology:quarrying/fixes/remove_item_modifier". Use a constant redstone signal (e.g., lever) to activate the commmand block and run the function for 2-3 seconds to remove the bug from the items in the chest. Turn off the command block, and remove your items.
