Coming back at you with another snapshot! Increase the enchantment cap with Glyph Affinity or charge up your Channeling trident... so long as you're not indoors! Today's snapshot is smaller than before, but should be the last features directly relating to Enchantments. On to the next magical category!

New Features

Enchanting

• Added Glyph Affinity enchantment
  • A treasure enchantment which increases the Enchantment Limit by a factor of 1.5
• Magic level now increases when an item is enchanted via enchanting table.
• Non-Humanoid armors are no longer enchantable via enchanting table.

Loot

Technical Changes

Data Tags

• Added increases_magic_limit enchantment tag
  • These enchantments increase the magic level limit of the item and decrease how quickly an item's magic level will increase
• Added repairs_equipment enchantment tag
  • These enchantments are incomptabile with the abrading curse

Enchantiblity

• The enchantment level cap is now calculated by this formula: (enchantability difference * 2) + 40

  • e.g. The command for summoning a leader zombie is now /summon zombie ~ ~ ~ {IsLeader:1b}

Sounds

• Removed Soggy Swamp by Johan Johnson (Swamp, Jungle, Sparse Jungle)
  • Developer Note: This music track seems to try and create a specific feeling for the listener. One of the things that we think makes Minecraft music so great, is how neutral it is. A song may make you feel alone, inspired, alien, etc. This song didn't allow for this very much.

• Fixed bug preventing the Magic Level value from going up properly
• Fixed bug where the cost of expensive anvil repairs and enchants weren't colored properly

[4.0 Snapshot 1] - 5/2/26

It's snapshot time! We've got some nice magical tweaks and technical upgrades for you!

New Features

Enchanting

• Added Occult Protection enchantment
  • A protection enchantment that protects the wearer from magical forms of harm
• Added Animal Armor enchantments
  • Horse armor may now be enchanted
  • Wolf armor may now be enchanted
  • Nautilus armor may now be enchanted
• Enchanting tables now accept carpets, potted plants, candles, chains, cauldrons, brewing stands, and chiseled bookshelves within the enchanting area
• Tweaked Anvil Enchanting
  • The "Too Expensive!" message has been replaced with "Unrepairable!"
    • The idea of the "Too Expensive!" repair limit is to mimic how in real life, you can't keep repairing an object over and over, forever. While we are not removing this feature, we have decided to rename it, to help make this more clear.
  • The limit for adding enchantments is now tied to enchantibility
    • The message for an item with too many enchantments is "Magic Capacity Met!"
  • Repairing an item enchanted with mending will have an enchantment level cost of 1.
  • Enchanting and repairing an item enchanted with mending will have a decreased enchantment cost
    • This cost is reduced by 4 levels, to a minimum of 1 level.
  • Repairing and Enchanting in an anvil have been split into two numbers.
    • Repair Cost (also known as the Prior Work Penalty): Functions the same as it did before, but now, enchanting does not increase the Repair Cost
    • Magic Level: Is a separate number that increases each time an item is enchanted. An item can be enchanted until you reach the magic limit, as mentioned above.

Enchantiblity

• The enchantibility difference of two items in an anvil will scale the enchantment cost cap.
  • Enchantibility difference is calculated as |enchantibility of item 1 - enchantibility of item 2|
  • The enchantment level cap is now calculated by this formula: (enchantibility difference * 2.4) + 40
    • Example: A diamond helmet (Enchantibility level 10) in an anvil with an enchanted book (Enchantability level 0) will have a maximum enchantment cost of 55
      • If the cost gets any higher than this, the anvil will say "Unrepairable!"
    • The enchantment cap is always rounded up
    • The maximum enchantment level cap is now 100 (which can be achieved by combining two pieces of golden armor)
• High enchantibility (level 15 or higher) armors will turn invisible with the wearer
• Elytras now have an enchantibility level of 9

  • There is a 10% chance for Warped Roots to grow on top of the fungus cap
  • This design is inspired by Minecraft Dungeons!

Blast Fungus

• Blast Fungi can be crafted shapelessly with a Crimson Fungus and Warped Fungus
  • Once thrown, a blast fungus explodes on impact, doing no damage to surrounding blocks

Potion Tweaks

• All drinks (potions, milk buckets, stews, etc.) are now consumed faster!
  • The time has been reduced to 20 ticks, to match the Combat Tests
• Consumable potions are now stackable up to 16 items
  • This is to match the combat tests
• Potions are now named depending on their enhancement
  • Example: A Potion of Swiftness that lasts for 8 minutes is now called a "Long Potion of Swiftness"
  • Example: A Potion of Swiftness that provides Speed II is now called a "Strong Potion of Swiftness"
  • This is based on their internal code names

New Potions
