Setup

๐Ÿš€ First Install

When first installing, MythicEnchants requires 2๏ธโƒฃTWO server restarts to configure. One to initially install the plugin itself, and the second to enable its datapack in the world. MythicEnchants runs using an in-world datapack to properly register its enchants - this is what makes them "real" enchantments, and not makeshift enchants using lore text lines or packet tricks, they are properly data-driven!

This also means that creating new enchantments requires a complete server restart to register properly, not just a /reload, so plan ahead! This is a data-driven limitation from Minecraft itself. Once an enchantment is created and exists, modifying its behavior typically can be updated with /mench reload once it's registered. Prior to restarting a server after adding in new enchants /mench refresh will regen the datapack to make it show on next reboot.
