📖1.21.5 Enchantment Changes

🔧System

  • Many Runecrafted enchantments have been reworked, updated, or removed.

  • There are 5 new enchantments which we're revealing immediately ↓

  • There are 8 new curses which can be received from failed Runecrafts. These replace our previous 2 custom curses, and are mostly for fun, but some have potential use cases. These aren't listed here, but they (and the two vanilla curses) are viewable in the Lexicon for reference.

  • Some enchantment recipes have been updated to more modern standards.

🎉New

  • Ground Pound:

    • Replaces Feather Falling V. Reduces fall damage and allows double sneaking while airborne to slam down and deal radial damage. Exclusive with Feather Falling & Rocket Boosting.

  • Ragdoll:

    • Replaces Knockback III. Killing blows deals 3x knockback ignoring knockback resistance. Enemies hit by their body are stunned. Exclusive with Knockback.

  • Riposte:

    • Replaces Kinetic Battery. After a parry, your next attack automatically critically strikes.

  • Wire Cutters:

    • Port of Blast Protection V, which is reworked. Shears enchant which allows shearing explosive entities to “defuse” them. Exclusive with Mitosis & Tithing.

  • Kaleidoscope:

    • Now a spyglass enchant instead of a charm.

✨Reworked

  • All Chestplate "Aspects" have been renamed to “Avatars”, e.g. “Aspect of the Shulker” is now “Avatar of Shulkers”. This differentiates them from the DoT Aspects, and subjectively we feel it sounds cooler.

  • Battering Ram:

    • Bash (double block) to rapidly dash forward, pushing and stunning enemies you collide with.

  • Blast Protection:

    • Defuse mechanic replaced with an Absorption “blast shield” upon taking blast damage, granting knockback immunity and damage reduction while it holds.

  • Executioner:

    • Now a 1-level Looting mutual. Executes below 5% health and grants +200% head drop rates.

  • Fencing:

    • After attacking, you can double-tap a movement key to hop invulnerably in that direction.

  • Frost Walker:

    • Removed Runecrafted level III. Innately buffed to grant bonus speed on ice and snow blocks and convert powder snow to regular snow.

  • Hot Rod:

    • Sears some caught fish, doubling their restored hunger and sell price, and allows lava fishing for 2x sear chance.

  • Paradigm of Lust:

    • Enemies targeting a spouse are scorned, allowing you to leap strike them from afar, but if a spouse dies in combat, you wither away unless you enact reckless vengeance against their killer.

  • Paradigm of Greed:

    • You can form lifelong contracts with humanoid mobs using raw gold, but if ever you don't re-up a contractor, they betray you.

  • Paradigm of Sloth:

    • You can lumber, moving slower and gaining slow, massive attacks, but lumbering replaces sprinting.

  • Shockwave:

    • Renamed to Undertow. Now releases a radial wave from you which pushes away enemies.

    Singularity:

    • Renamed to Snare. Now releases ropes which pull enemies towards the impact point.

  • Skewering:

    • Attacks gain range and pierce in a 3-prong cone, and throws bypass shields and pierce enemies. Pierced enemies are slowed.

  • Utility Belt:

    • Grants leggings a belt, a 9-slot item inventory. Shift right clicking them swaps the contents of their belt and your hotbar.
