Howdy, me and a few friends are playing on a modpack called MechaniCrafters on the CurseForge launcher and its on minecraft version 1.16.4 and forge version 35.1.37. We were looking into getting some higher tier enchantments via the ancient tomes but upon going into singleplayer worlds it seems to be that the ancient tome combined with a book of the same level and enchantment type is giving you an output of an ancient tome with two of that level V enchantment, as shown in the screenshots.

I am not sure if the correct recipe would be to combine a book with an ancient tome, or combine an ancient tome with a book however combining an enchanted book with an ancient tome in that order inside the anvil GUI gives you a red X. I did some searching on the internets and cannot find anything similar thats happened to anyone else.

Here are the contextual screenshots:

Thanks,

Hello! Quark's moved to 1.18 now-- unfortunately, this means that (unless your bug is critical and/or game-breaking), we're closing support for issues filed for versions prior to it (e.g. Quark on 1.16).

If your issue still occurs on 1.18, or if your issue happens to be rather critical (e.g. consistently crashing the game with no other mods present), please leave another note or open a new issue. Thanks for your cooperation!

Can you reproduce this with only quark? This seems more likely to be a bad mod interaction. The fact you can add sharpness 5 to it twice is because you're in creative.

I have the same issue with the same modpack, tested with just quark and it's dependencies and it works as intended. Unsure what is causing the compatibility issue. Will continue to test.
