What It Does
Enchantment Level Cap Indicator is a client-side utility mod for Minecraft. It solves a specific problem: knowing if an enchantment is at its highest possible level. Experienced players often memorize these caps, but new players might not. This mod removes that guesswork. When an enchantment on an item reaches its maximum potential, a symbol appears next to the level in the tooltip. By default, this symbol is a golden star. You can change the symbol and its color in the configuration file to suit your preference.
Where It Works
The indicator is visible in several key places where you inspect items. It functions in the enchantment table, at the anvil, and in standard inventory tooltips. This means you can check an item's status whether you're actively enchanting, upgrading, or just browsing your inventory. The mod is designed to be unobtrusive, adding only a small visual cue without altering the core gameplay mechanics or item stats.
Configuration Options
You've control over how the indicator looks. The configuration file allows you to change the symbol itself. This default is a star, but you can set it to any character or symbol you prefer. You can also adjust the color of the symbol. The color is defined by an index value ranging from 0 to 15. For example, index 6 is gold, which is the default. Index 0 is black, and index 15 is white. This flexibility lets you match the indicator to your modpack's aesthetic or ensure it stands out against different background textures.
Compatibility and Requirements
This mod is client-side only. You don't need to install it on the server for it to work. And it supports four major mod loaders: Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt. The supported Minecraft versions are specific and discrete. That mod lists support for versions 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1, 1.21.11, 1.21.10, and 1.21.9. But it doesn't claim support for other versions, so you should verify your specific Minecraft version against this list before installing. Look, the mod is available on both Modrinth and CurseForge. This license is All Rights Reserved, but the author permits free use in modpacks as long as the download remains hosted within the CurseForge or Modrinth ecosystem.
Who It's For
This mod is useful for anyone who plays Minecraft with enchantments. It's particularly helpful for new players who are still learning the limits of enchantments. It also benefits experienced players who want a quick visual confirmation without having to recall specific numbers. If you play in a modpack, this mod adds a small quality-of-life improvement that doesn't require server-side installation. It is a lightweight utility that focuses on one specific task and does it well.
