Enchantment Upgrade
UPDATED TO 1.11.2
I took some time to try out things with 1.11.2 (per request, thanks FatalBlade!), and it seems to work really well! This means that 1.11.2 will become the main supported version. If your server is running on 1.10 or 1.9, please send me a message and I'll work on updating!
Thanks for 6000+ downloads!
The ultimate plugin for anyone who likes strength on the battlefield! ... or just likes slaughtering pigs with Sharpness 10.
What Does it Do?
This plugin aims to make enchantments just a little bit more powerful. This doesn't replace the default enchanting, however! Using this plugin, you can setup an altar to upgrade all of your enchantments (ya know, Enchantment Upgrade). For instance, with enough patience, materials, and desire for strength, you could increase the Knockback 2 of your OP Diamond Sword to Knockback 10! Be warned: using the altar does cost a lot of materials!
How to Build & Use the Upgrade Altar
The altar formation can be found here
Once the altar has been created (you should get a message confirming this), you can simply left-click on the enchantment table with any item that has an enchantment on it! Click on the book containing the enchantment you want to upgrade, or click the CANCEL button to change your mind.
Commands
/altar - Sends the player a link to the altar formation page, no permissions needed
Permissions
enchupgrade.create - Allows player to create Upgrade Altars
enchupgrade.use - Allows player to use Upgrade Altars
enchupgrade.break - Allows player to break Upgrade Altars
enchupgrade.<one of the above>.<WorldName> - Prevents player from doing specific action in named world (Needs Feedback!)
To-Do
I am always going to be looking for ways to add something new to this plugin, so feel free to give some suggestions!
Configurable option to not destroy the altar on use(version 3.0.6)- Minor changes to how upgrade are made
- Minor changes to cosmetics
- Altar Ownership + "friend list"
Per-world permissions(version 3.0.6, untested)- More stats for use on MCStats
Update to 1.11.2- Ability to use XP instead of breaking altars
Known Bugs
breakOnUse: false doesn't work
FAQ
Q: Does the beacon need to have the beam show in order for me to upgrade?
A: No, the beacon light is purely cosmetic, in this case.
Q: What happens when I upgrade my enchantment?
A: The blocks will be removed by a magical explosion.
Q: Are my altars protected from other people?
A: No. Altars can be used by anyone and broken by anyone (so long as they have the permission). Be careful where you place them! (subject to change!)
Q: Do you offer help for this plugin?
A: Yes! If you have issues while using this plugin, I'll gladly help! Send in a ticket, leave a comment, or PM me!
Metrics
This plugin uses Metrics to track various stats about the plugin's usage. http://mcstats.org/plugin/EnchantmentUpgrade 
As always, your support is greatly appreciated!

Posted Jul 9, 2016When using the Altar, rather than just upgrade the item (which I assume is what it's supposed to do) it gives me the actual book "Sharpness Upgrade" with the option selected on it. I've tried using this in the anvil or crafting table and nothing happens so I assume this isn't intended? Version 1.9.4

Huh... that's strange...
Can you PM me the list of plugins you have installed on your server? I'll try and replicate the problem and see what's up.

I like this plugin and it's very useful, BUT:
When I installed this plugin, my wooden ax (which is needed for the WE and WG) began breaking blocks with LMC!

Ah I see.
Currently, no, there is no way to make altars remain. I'll add that as a config option in the next update, though!

Nevermind,just....is there a way to make it remain?I'm making a dungeon and those who survive are permitted to use this "BlackSmith" as in Metin2 if you played.The deamon's tower.

The altar explodes because, if it didn't, upgrading would be 100% free :P
And by setting a message, do you mean being able to set the message yourself, like in a config file? I'm not quite sure what you're asking :P

Posted Feb 29, 2016Could you make so that the altar wouldn't explode after that?Or could you set a message if that player doesn't have the permission to use that?Something like You didn't unlocked this feature yet?

If you haven't enchanted your weapon, you won't be able to upgrade. This doesn't replace an enchantment table!

Posted Nov 23, 2015@GamerBah But how can you empower your weapon, because if i left click the altar it says: You must empower your weapon before placing it on this altar.

All the blocks are dropped? That's really strange... In all the testing I've done, the blocks have never dropped o.o
Anyhow, I am currently working on the feature you suggested :P Should be out within the next few days! Thanks for the idea!

Oh, are the blocks supposed to be destroyed? Whenever a player uses the altar on my server, it blows up but all the blocks are dropped. I presumed it was intended.

I could make a config option for that :P Since the only thing being taken from players is blocks, and I mean, yea that's not really hard to get back :P (except maybe the beacon)

Posted Aug 24, 2015Just as an idea, would it be possible to add a configurable amount of xp levels to charge each time a player upgrades an enchant. I just think it's a nice way to balance it out because as of now there is nothing taken from the player to increase their enchant levels.

If you are trying to "open" the altar using Right Click, it should bring up the default enchanting menu. To use the altar, you need to use Left Click. This is just so that you can set up a cool Enchanting / Upgrading station :P
@stoneis
Can you either send in a ticket or PM me? I'd be happy to help!
