[Solved][1.20.6]Unable to Enchant Custom Pickaxe Item with Vanilla Enchantments

[charred belfry]

Hello,
I've just started developing Minecraft mods a few days ago, and I'm still trying to understand the basic rules of mod development. I'm afraid some parts of my implementation might be messy, but I would really appreciate your help!
Sorry if this is a basic problem that I just don't understand...

Current Context

I'm developing a mod using Minecraft 1.20.6 with Fabric API, and I'm trying to implement a custom item called AreaBreakerItem. This item behaves similarly to MineAll or tools that break blocks in a specific area, functioning like a pickaxe that breaks multiple blocks at once.
What I want to achieve is to make AreaBreakerItem enchantable just like a vanilla pickaxe, using both enchantment tables and commands.

Problem

Unable to Enchant via Enchantment Table or Commands:
When I attempt to enchant AreaBreakerItem using an enchantment table or the /enchant command, none of the usual vanilla enchantments (e.g., Silk Touch, Efficiency, etc.) are applied.
Strangely enough, I was able to apply a custom enchantment that I created, but vanilla enchantments still fail to work.

Question

How can I modify my AreaBreakerItem so that it can be enchanted with vanilla enchantments (like a standard pickaxe) using both enchantment tables and commands?

Thank you for taking the time to read and help me! Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

did you add it to the correct tags?

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tag see the various "enchantable" tags about 1/4 the way down the list of tags

Thank you for your response!

I apologize for my misunderstanding regarding the changes in Minecraft's behavior. I'm still learning the ins and outs of the current specifications. While this may not be a Fabric-specific issue and could be more related to Minecraft itself, I hope it's okay to ask here.

Currently, I've added the following tag setup:

In data/modid/tags/items/enchantable/mining.json
(also tried with mining_loot.json and durability.json):

{
  "replace": false,
  "values": [
    "modid:itemid"
  ]
}

However, it still seems that the enchantment is not being applied correctly.
I'm wondering if my way of defining the tags is appropriate or if there might be something I'm missing.
I apologize for the basic nature of my question, but I would greatly appreciate any guidance you could provide.

Thank you again for your help!

Path shouldn't be modid but minecraft

The mining tag is stored in data/minecraft/tags/items/enchantable/mining.json and not data/modid/tags/items/enchantable/mining.json
We're modifying minecraft's tag so that it knows how to enchant, and we're not creating our own tag

Ouch, my explanation is so bad lol

Hope this helps

Thank you!
So, if I understand correctly, it means that instead of creating a data/modid folder, I should be creating a data/minecraft folder and place my tag files there, effectively modifying Minecraft's default tag system rather than creating a completely new tag, right?

[minor kiln]

Basically

But you're only modifying one tag and not the system

And also, placing your tag in the data/modid directory doesn't actually create a new tag on its own, but rather defines the values of that tag if it is defined by code in the future

I understand it well now. Thank you so much!

And with that change, I was able to make the enchantment work.
Thank you so much for your kind explanation—it has been incredibly helpful.
As I'm still a beginner in mod development, I might ask more questions in the future, but I look forward to your support again...!

Thanks again, everyone🤝
