Knowledge

---

In an attempt to tie enchanting more into progression and exploration, Sortilege adds a knowledge system to the enchanting table. Go on adventures, find enchanted loot, and learn from it to improve your own equipment!

Knowledge Book

The Knowledge Book records enchantments discovered from loot.

When enchantment knowledge is enabled, an Enchanting Table can only offer enchantments the player has discovered or supplied through a catalyst. Holding an authored Knowledge Book in the inventory makes its recorded enchantments available.

Crafting

The recipe is shapeless:

• 1 Book
• 2 Lapis Lazuli
• 1 Glow Ink Sac

A newly crafted Knowledge Book records its creator as an author.

Learning enchantments

Place a Knowledge Book and an enchanted loot item into a Grindstone.

When the item contains an enchantment that can be learned, the Grindstone output is an updated copy of the Knowledge Book containing that knowledge.

The book records enchantment levels individually. Finding a stronger version of an enchantment can therefore improve the level known by the book.

Merging books

Two Knowledge Books can be placed together in a Grindstone.

The output combines the knowledge contained in both books.

Authorship

A Knowledge Book may be opened and used by:

• One of its recorded authors.
• A player in Creative Mode.
• Any player, when the book has no recorded author.

A player who is not an author receives a warning when attempting to open the book.

Using stored knowledge

Keep an authored Knowledge Book anywhere in the player's inventory while using an Enchanting Table.

The book contributes every enchantment and level it has learned to that player's available enchantment knowledge.

Multiple books may be carried, allowing their knowledge to be combined without permanently merging them.

Book interface and tooltip

Using the Knowledge Book opens its interface.

The tooltip displays:

• Its authors.
• Its percentage completion.
• A description of how to learn and use enchantments.

Completion is measured against the total maximum levels of every registered enchantment.
