Enchantment Applicator Bug: Wrong Level Applied!
Hey guys! So, we've got a bit of a head-scratcher in AllTheMods 9 (ATM9) that some players have run into while using the Industrial Foregoing's Enchantment Applicator. It seems like sometimes, the enchantment level applied isn't quite what you'd expect. Let's dive into the details and see what's up!
The Issue: Unbreaking V Turned Into Unbreaking III
Basically, here's what happened: A player tried to apply an Unbreaking V enchantment to their netherite leggings using the Enchantment Applicator. Instead of getting the full-strength Unbreaking V, the leggings ended up with Unbreaking III. That's a pretty significant downgrade, and definitely not what anyone wants when they're trying to max out their gear!
This kind of issue can be super frustrating, right? You spend time and resources to get those high-level enchantments, and then the applicator decides to nerf them. Imagine you're gearing up for a big fight, relying on that extra durability, only to find out it's not there. Not cool!
Now, let’s think about why this might be happening. The Enchantment Applicator is supposed to take the enchantment from the book and apply it directly to the item. But what if there’s some behind-the-scenes code that’s messing with the levels? It could be a rounding error, a data type issue, or even an unintended interaction with another mod. Whatever it is, it's causing a mismatch between the enchantment level on the book and the level that ends up on the item.
This kind of bug can have a ripple effect too. Players might start distrusting the Enchantment Applicator, leading them to use other, less efficient methods for enchanting. Or they might waste valuable enchantment books, thinking they're getting one level but ending up with another. It’s essential to get this sorted out so everyone can reliably use the applicator without any surprises.
Possible Causes:
- Code Errors: Maybe there's a simple typo or logic error in the Enchantment Applicator's code that's causing the level reduction.
- Mod Interactions: It could be that another mod in the ATM9 pack is interfering with the enchantment process.
- Configuration Issues: Perhaps there's a configuration setting that's unintentionally limiting the maximum enchantment level that can be applied.
To really nail down the cause, we'd need to dive into the mod's code and do some serious debugging. But for now, it's good to be aware of the issue and maybe double-check your enchantments after applying them with the applicator. Nobody wants to go into a tough situation with gear that's not up to par!
Modpack Version
This issue was reported in modpack version 1.1.1 of AllTheMods 9. This is important because it helps narrow down the potential causes. If the bug is specific to this version, it means we can focus our attention on changes that were made in or around this release. Knowing the exact version also helps developers reproduce the bug and test any potential fixes.
When reporting bugs, always include the modpack version. It's a small detail that can make a big difference in how quickly and effectively the issue can be resolved. Plus, it helps other players who might be experiencing the same problem to know if they're running the affected version.
Why is the Modpack Version Important?
- Isolating the Problem: Different versions of a modpack can have different mods, different versions of the same mods, and different configurations. Knowing the exact version helps pinpoint where the bug might be coming from.
- Reproducibility: Developers need to be able to reproduce the bug in order to fix it. Knowing the modpack version ensures they're working with the same environment as the player who reported the issue.
- Testing Fixes: Once a fix is implemented, it needs to be tested to make sure it actually solves the problem. The modpack version ensures the fix is being tested in the correct context.
So, if you're reporting a bug, always include the modpack version. It's a simple step that can save everyone a lot of time and effort!
What Happened?
The player used an Unbreaking V book on netherite leggings in the enchantment applicator from Industrial Foregoing. It applied a level 3 unbreaking enchantment. This is a clear case of the applicator not applying the correct enchantment level. Instead of the expected Unbreaking V, the leggings ended up with Unbreaking III.
This kind of issue can be super frustrating, especially when you're trying to optimize your gear for maximum durability. Imagine you've spent ages grinding for that perfect enchantment book, only to have the applicator downgrade it when you apply it to your gear. It's like a slap in the face from the modded Minecraft gods!

Why This Matters
- Gear Optimization: Players invest significant time and resources into obtaining high-level enchantments to enhance their gear. When the applicator misapplies these enchantments, it undermines this effort and leaves players with suboptimal equipment.
- Resource Waste: High-level enchantment books are valuable and often hard-earned. Misapplication of enchantments leads to wasted resources and frustration for players.
- Player Trust: Bugs like this can erode player trust in the reliability of mods. If players can't trust the tools they're using to enhance their gear, they may become discouraged from using them altogether.
To really nail down the cause, we'd need to dive into the mod's code and do some serious debugging. But for now, it's good to be aware of the issue and maybe double-check your enchantments after applying them with the applicator. Nobody wants to go into a tough situation with gear that's not up to par!
Latest.log
The latest.log file is a goldmine of information when it comes to debugging Minecraft issues. In this case, the player provided a link to their latest.log on Gist: https://gist.github.com/PlovieJ/3567b8227d4a0a430b48bd319270006c.
For those who aren't familiar, the latest.log file is a text file that Minecraft generates every time you run the game. It records all sorts of information, from mod loading to world generation to error messages. When something goes wrong, the latest.log can provide clues about what happened and why.
Now, digging through a latest.log can be a bit daunting. It's usually filled with a ton of technical jargon that most players don't understand. But for developers and experienced modders, it's an invaluable resource.
In this particular case, the latest.log might contain information about the Enchantment Applicator, the enchantment process, and any errors or warnings that occurred during the application. It could also reveal if there were any conflicts with other mods that might have caused the issue.
Here's what developers might look for in the latest.log:
- Error Messages: Any lines that start with "ERROR" or "WARN" are red flags. They indicate that something went wrong and can provide clues about the cause.
- Mod Interactions: The log might show if there were any conflicts between Industrial Foregoing and other mods.
- Enchantment Details: The log might contain information about the enchantment process itself, such as which enchantment was applied, at what level, and any modifications that were made.
Of course, interpreting a latest.log requires a good understanding of Minecraft's inner workings and the specific mods involved. But even for non-developers, it's helpful to know that this file exists and can be used to troubleshoot issues.
So, if you're reporting a bug, always include your latest.log file. It's like giving the developers a magnifying glass to examine the problem!
Developer Reports

However, it's important to keep the issue on their radar so they can investigate and hopefully provide a fix in a future update.
What Can Players Do?
- Keep Reporting: Even if there's no immediate response, keep reporting the issue. The more reports they receive, the more likely they are to prioritize it.
- Provide Detailed Information: When reporting the bug, provide as much detail as possible. Include the modpack version, a description of what happened, and your
latest.logfile. - Stay Patient: Developing and maintaining mods is a lot of work. Give the developers time to investigate and fix the issue.
Hopefully, the developers will address this bug soon and provide a solution. In the meantime, players can try to work around the issue by using alternative enchanting methods or by double-checking their enchantments after applying them with the Enchantment Applicator.
That's all for now, folks! Stay tuned for updates, and happy modding! Remember to always double-check your enchantments, just in case!
