Hold To Enchant — Auto Enchant
Hold to Enchant is a script-based utility that immediately enchants the item you're holding to the max level. Simply hold an item, and the add-on handles the rest.
--- This add-on works without disabling achievement.
MAIN FEATURES
Instant Enchanting — Automatically applies relevant enchants the moment you hold an item. Swords get Sharpness V, Looting III, Fire Aspect II, and Unbreaking III. Picks get Fortune III or Silk Touch. And so on.
Conflicting Enchantments — Use the configuration menu to choose between conflicting enchants like Silk Touch vs Fortune, Mending vs Infinity, or Depth Strider vs Frost Walker — no guesswork needed.
(NewBows add-on from SystemTv)
Universal Compatibility — Works for all vanilla tools, weapons, and armor, plus custom items from other add-ons.
Perfect combo with my other add-on Fortune Extender — Duplicate any block you mine with Fortune enchantment!

TECHNICAL DEEP-DIVE
The engine is event-driven, subscribing to playerHotbarSelectedSlotChange and playerInventoryItemChange instead of polling on a fixed interval. Enchanting only runs when the player switches hotbar slots or a new item lands in the active slot.
- It scans EquipmentSlot.Mainhand against a lookup table called ENCHANTABLE_ITEMS.
- Once a category is identified, buildCommands() generates a sequence of player.runCommand() calls tailored to that specific item type.
- For add-on compatibility, the script includes a namespace fallback. If a custom item like example:example_sword isn't found in the lookup table, the code strips the namespace and checks whether the ID ends with _sword, _axe, _pickaxe, etc., to assign the correct enchantment set automatically. This prevents the script from spamming attempts on items that can't be enchanted.
--- NOTE: Only vanilla enchantments supported!
PERFORMANCE
- Item Cache — To prevent the add-on from spamming commands every tick, it uses a Map with a "playerId:slot:typeId" composite key.
- Lightweight Footprint — Since the actual enchanting is delegated to native /enchant commands, JavaScript overhead is kept to a minimum.

CONFIGURATION
Type /ae:menu in chat to open your personal settings panel.
- Custom Command — Registered via customCommandRegistry on system.beforeEvents.startup, so it supports autocomplete and works even with cheats disabled. No custom item or entity required.
- Per-Player Persistence — Your preferences (like choosing Smite over Sharpness) are saved via player.setDynamicProperty(), so they persist across sessions.
- Item Toggles — Don't want your pickaxe auto-enchanted? You can disable it here
NEW IN VERSION 1.1.0:
- Enchant Blacklist — Blacklist an enchantment you don't want from auto enchant specifically.
And DON'T FORGET to submit afterwards!
