Aether Infusion
by lovesuit
Aether Infusion lets a player move enchantments from one item to an enchanted book at the anvil, without spending experience levels.
What it does
Players place the enchanted item in the left anvil slot and a regular book in the right slot, then take the resulting enchanted book from the output slot. The enchantments are copied onto the book, so the source item can be reused or moved on. The process does not consume experience, which separates it from the vanilla anvil cost.
The mod is a NeoForge addition for 1.21.1 and belongs in the Magic category, with secondary tags for game mechanics, utility and equipment. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The latest file is version 1.0.0, published on 2026-04-19. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Enchantment extraction
Enchantments can be pulled off an enchanted item and written onto a book at the anvil.
Anvil transfer books
The transfer uses a regular book placed in the right anvil slot, and the result appears in the output slot.
No experience cost
The extraction takes no experience levels, so the anvil cost does not limit how often it is used.
Source item kept
The enchanted item stays in the left slot while the book is taken, so the item can be reused after extraction.

Use cases
Reworking gear
A player can move a favorite enchantment off a worn tool and onto a fresh item without losing the levels spent earlier.
Multiplayer servers
Because only the server and players need the mod, a server owner can add it without asking clients for extra setup beyond the mod itself.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players and server owners on NeoForge 1.21.1 who manage enchantments through anvils and want a way to copy them onto books without the experience cost of vanilla anvil use.
How it compares
Simple Enchant Transfer is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that runs on client and server and is open source under the MIT License, so its code can be read and reused. Time Enchants is also a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 and runs on client and server, but it is not open source and is released under the MIT License. Aether Infusion is not open source, so the two differ on whether the code is public, while the loader, version and environment match.
