Custom book that can be enchanted with the enchanting table

[allene50]

I want to make a book that you can enchant into an enchanted book with custom properties while enchanting, but first step is to basically copy or extend the "BookItem" class. when testing ingame, i keep getting "Limited enchantibility". is there any way to get around this?

The book is hardcoded by Mojang.

See for example EnchantmentHelper's use of ItemStack.is(Items.BOOK)

i.e. the exact item not a subclass or copy.

that sucks is there a way around it to like overwrite the class or replace it with a modified version of it?

You can have a look at IForgeItem.canApplyAtEnchantingTable() and related methods and implement them on your Item.

But I don't think you can use that to do what books do where it changes the Item from BookItem to EnchantedBookItem?

 

You can also propose a patch to forge. I would take your discussion to forge's discord first.

I Heard mixins could work, I installed it but I can't get anything using to work. game still runs no issues but i can't get anything to the console. I can't tell if it is my coding or an issue in the gradle.build or config issue

Mixins are not supported in this forum.

I believe there is a channel on forge's discord where you can discuss 3rd party modding tools?

Or you can ask wherever mixin has its support channels.
