[solved]Can't use enchanted custom book with anvil
Thu, 10/30/2025 - 18:05 (edited)

The element tag contains "enchantable/...".

So, enchanting a custom book was possible.

However, it doesn't merge with the item in the anvil.

Do I need a different tag for that? (um... The 'minecraft:bow' tag is not helpful...)

and where should I use it?

I just wanted to make a book with a high enchantment coefficient and combine the enchantments in the anvil.

this isn't really possible with mcreator's tooling, vanilla enchanted books store enchantments differently from all other items,

vanilla enchanted books,

all other items,

 

this is the difference that makes it impossible for you to combine your custom book with an item in an anvil.

You're basically trying to do this and expecting it to work,
