Create Enchantment Industry

Overview

Create Enchantment Industry is an addon for the Create mod that automates the entire enchanting workflow. Instead of standing at an Enchanting Table clicking through random enchantment offers, you can build fully automated production lines that enchant, disenchant, and copy items using Create's belt and fluid systems.

The mod adds three core machines: the Disenchanter (strips enchantments from items and converts them to Liquid Experience), the Blaze Enchanter (applies specific enchantments to items using Liquid Experience), and the Printer (duplicates Enchanted Books, Written Books, Name Tags, and more). It also introduces two fluids, Liquid Experience and Hyper Experience, along with supporting items like the Enchanting Guide and Experience Rotor. You can browse all items and recipes the mod adds using the tabs on this page.

Prerequisites

This mod requires Create to be installed and assumes you have a basic understanding of Create's systems. You'll need access to Copper Casings (crafted from Copper Ingots and Stripped Wood in Create), a working Blaze Burner, and familiarity with belts, fluid pipes, and tanks. If you haven't built a basic Create setup yet with rotational power and fluid transport, do that first before diving into enchantment automation.

Fluids

Liquid Experience

Liquid Experience is the primary resource driving every machine in this mod. It's produced by the Disenchanter when it strips enchantments from items, absorbs XP Orbs from the world, or drains experience from nearby players. The fluid glows with a light level of 15 and can be stored in Create's fluid tanks and transported through pipes. When spilled into the world, it converts back into XP Orbs automatically.

Hyper Experience

Hyper Experience is a concentrated version of Liquid Experience with a 10x XP ratio. It's created by filling Glass Bottles with Hyper Experience fluid. When used in a Blaze Enchanter, it unlocks Hyper-Enchanting, which lets you push enchantments beyond their normal maximum level (by default, up to +2 levels above the vanilla cap). When collected by a player, Hyper Experience also grants temporary Haste II and Speed II effects, with duration scaling logarithmically based on the amount collected.

Ink

Ink is a separate fluid used by the Printer for copying text-based items. It's created from Ink Sacs, Glow Ink Sacs, or Create's Squid Tentacles. Ink is only used by the Printer and isn't compatible with the Disenchanter or Blaze Enchanter. It has a density and viscosity of 1000 and produces Obsidian when it contacts Lava.

The Disenchanter

The Disenchanter is your primary source of Liquid Experience. It has an internal tank capacity of 1,000 mB (configurable) and processes items in just 10 ticks (0.5 seconds). When an enchanted item passes through, the Disenchanter strips all non-curse enchantments and converts them into Liquid Experience at 75% efficiency (rounded up). Cursed enchantments are preserved on the output item. Enchanted Books that are fully disenchanted become plain Books.

Beyond processing items, the Disenchanter passively absorbs XP Orbs that land within a one-block radius, converting them directly into Liquid Experience. It also drains experience from players standing on top of it, pulling up to 100 XP per cycle every 10 ticks. This makes it useful as a collection point in mob farms: just place it where XP Orbs would normally scatter and it will gather them into usable fluid.

Items can be placed manually by right-clicking the top face, or fed automatically via Create belts from any horizontal side. Fluid output is accessible from the bottom and sides (not the top). The block also emits a Redstone Comparator signal based on its tank fill level, making it easy to automate overflow protection.

The Blaze Enchanter

The Blaze Enchanter is the centerpiece of the mod. It's created by sneaking and right-clicking a Blaze Burner with a configured Enchanting Guide. This converts the Blaze Burner into a Blaze Enchanter with the selected enchantment target locked in. The enchantment process takes 200 ticks (10 seconds) per item, and the internal tank holds 2,000 mB of Liquid Experience or Hyper Experience.

The Blaze Enchanter has three heat levels that correspond to the fluid it contains. Smouldering (light level 7) means the tank is empty. Kindled (light level 11) activates when Liquid Experience is present, allowing normal enchanting. Seething (light level 15) activates with Hyper Experience, enabling hyper-enchanting that pushes enchantments beyond their vanilla max level.

To change the enchantment target, sneak and right-click with a new Enchanting Guide to swap it in, or sneak and right-click with an empty hand to open the configuration GUI. You can also attach Engineer's Goggles by right-clicking the block with them; this displays detailed information about XP consumption and enchantment validity when viewed through goggles. To revert the block back to a regular Blaze Burner, use a Wrench while sneaking.

Hyper-Enchanting

When the Blaze Enchanter is filled with Hyper Experience instead of regular Liquid Experience, it enters Seething mode and can perform hyper-enchanting. This allows enchantments to exceed their vanilla maximum level by up to 2 additional levels (configurable via maxHyperEnchantingLevelExtension). For example, Sharpness V could become Sharpness VII, or Protection IV could become Protection VI. Hyper-enchanting is enabled by default but can be disabled in the server config.

XP Cost Formula

The Liquid Experience cost for enchanting depends on both the enchantment level and its rarity tier. Common enchantments (like Efficiency or Protection) cost the least, while Very Rare enchantments (like Mending or Infinity) cost significantly more. The formula calculates an equivalent XP level based on the enchantment's minimum anvil cost plus a rarity multiplier (Common: 1, Uncommon: 2, Rare: 3, Very Rare: 4), then converts that level to fluid units. A server-side cost coefficient (default 1.0) can scale all costs up or down.

The Printer

The Printer functions like Create's Spout but for duplicating items. Place it above a belt, right-click it with the item you want to copy, then send blank materials on the belt below while piping in the appropriate fluid. The Printer has an internal tank of 4,000 mB (configurable) and takes 100 ticks (5 seconds) per copy. It accepts Liquid Experience, Hyper Experience, and Ink depending on what you're copying.

The Printer cannot be placed above a Basin (unlike the Spout). To retrieve or change the copy target, right-click with an empty hand to take back the current target, then right-click with a new item to set a new one. Items that don't match any valid copy type will be rejected.

Supporting Items

Experience Rotor

The Experience Rotor is a reusable crafting component made from Zinc Ingots and an Experience Nugget. It's used in crafting recipes for the mod's machines and is notable for not being consumed in crafting; it always returns itself as a crafting remainder, similar to how a Bucket returns after crafting a Cake.

Hyper Experience Bottle

The Hyper Experience Bottle is a throwable item (Rare rarity) created by filling a Glass Bottle with Hyper Experience fluid. When thrown, it functions like a standard Experience Bottle but releases Hyper Experience instead, which grants XP along with temporary Haste II and Speed II buffs. The buff duration scales with the amount of experience contained, using a logarithmic formula that prevents extremely long durations from large quantities.

Enchanting Guide

The Enchanting Guide is a single-stack item that stores your enchantment target for the Blaze Enchanter. Right-click it to open its GUI, place an Enchanted Book inside to select an enchantment, then sneak and right-click a Blaze Burner to convert it into a Blaze Enchanter with that target. The guide's tooltip always shows the currently configured enchantment and its level. If the book contains multiple enchantments, you can cycle through them using the index stored in the item's NBT.

Deployer & Crushing Wheel Integration

Create Enchantment Industry modifies two existing Create machines to interact with its experience system. When a Deployer kills a mob, there's a configurable chance (default 100%) that the mob will drop Experience Nuggets instead of normal XP Orbs. The scale factor is 0.34 by default, meaning the XP is reduced to about a third of its normal value but converted into a collectible item form. This makes Deployer-based mob farms produce storable XP that can be processed through the enchantment pipeline.

Similarly, Crushing Wheels gain a 30% chance (configurable) to drop Experience Nuggets when killing creatures. This gives you another avenue for converting mob farms into automated experience production without requiring a player to stand nearby collecting orbs.

Experience Bottles

Both standard Experience Bottles and Hyper Experience Bottles can be filled using a fluid filling setup (such as a Create Spout). Place an empty Glass Bottle on a belt and fill it with the appropriate fluid. Standard Experience Bottles are filled with Liquid Experience, while Hyper Experience Bottles require Hyper Experience fluid. This provides a portable way to store and transport experience, or to use it on demand without needing a full machine setup.

Configuration Options

Create Enchantment Industry provides a comprehensive server config file that lets server operators and modpack developers tune every aspect of the mod's balance. All options are in the server config and require a server restart for tank capacity changes.

Tank capacities can be set independently for each machine: Disenchanter defaults to 1,000 mB, Printer to 4,000 mB, and Blaze Enchanter to 2,000 mB. The enableHyperEnchant toggle controls whether hyper-enchanting is available at all, while maxHyperEnchantingLevelExtension (default 2) controls how many levels beyond vanilla max hyper-enchanting can reach.

Cost multipliers like enchantByBlazeEnchanterCostCoefficient and copyEnchantedBookCostCoefficient (both defaulting to 1.0, range 0.01 to 100.0) let you scale XP costs up or down globally. The Deployer XP drop chance (default 1.0) and scale (default 0.34) control how much experience Deployer kills yield as Experience Nuggets. The Crushing Wheel drop rate defaults to 30% for nugget drops.

Automation Workflows

The real power of Create Enchantment Industry emerges when you chain its machines together into full production lines. Here are the key workflows to build toward.

Enchanted Book Factory

Start with a mob farm feeding enchanted drops into a Disenchanter. The Disenchanter converts enchantments into Liquid Experience and outputs plain items (which can be trashed or recycled). Pipe the Liquid Experience into a central tank. From the tank, route fluid to a Blaze Enchanter with a Sharpness V Enchanting Guide, which enchants plain Books into Enchanted Books. Finally, feed those Enchanted Books into a Printer to mass-duplicate them. One good enchanted book becomes an unlimited supply.

Gear Enchanting Line

Set up multiple Blaze Enchanters in sequence along a belt, each with a different Enchanting Guide. A Diamond Sword enters the first Blaze Enchanter and gets Sharpness V, continues on the belt to the second for Fire Aspect II, then the third for Looting III. By the end of the line, each item is fully enchanted without any manual Anvil work.
