I created a sword and I wanted it to permanently have a Sharpness enchantment(like in the twilight forest mod) Initially I used this:

public void onCreated(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer)
    {
    par1ItemStack.addEnchantment(Enchantment.sharpness, 4);

At first everything looked OK but then I realized that if you remove the item from the output slot for the crafting table using shift it doesn't get enchanted Any solutions?

Try in the recipe its self.

 

I don't know if this works or not (haven't tried it) but try this!

 

 

 

private ItemStack item;

item = new ItemStack(YOUR ITEM);
item.addEnchantment(Enchantment.sharpness, 4);
GameRegistry.addRecipe(item, new Object[] {"D", "D", "S", 'S', Items.stick, 'D', Blocks.planks});

 

 

hey i may be asking a stupid question but why are you adding an enchantment of sharpness (Each level separately adds 1.25 extra damage (0.625 hearts) to each hit) when your making a mod, couldnt you just ass the respective increase in damage to your item? and add the lore "Enchantment: Sharpness" to the weapon the user wouldnt know the difference

Only if you want to let the user enchant the item further upon your added effect (on the enchantment table of course).

If you don't want that, or you want the user to be able to "disenchant" your item (possible by repairing the item on the workbench rather than on the anvil), use The_SlayerMC's suggestion.

I have used a method similar to The_SlayerMC's and it has worked well in the past.

Thank you!! The_SlayerMC's method worked
