AR1 No Experience
AR1 No Experience removes the Too Expensive cap on anvil combining, so enchantments that normally clash can be merged onto one item.
What it does
In vanilla Minecraft an anvil refuses a combination once its experience cost passes a fixed ceiling, and some enchantments block each other outright. AR1 No Experience lifts the ceiling and allows incompatible enchantments to sit together on the same item, such as Sharpness with Smite, or Mending with Infinity and Protection. Items are placed on the anvil as usual, and the result is taken regardless of the cost shown.
The change is a Fabric mod that needs Fabric API. It is configured through its own settings file, and it does not run any background process, so the effect applies as soon as the mod is loaded. Because the mod only alters anvil behavior, it has little effect on game performance. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files cover 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.0.3 for 26.3 as the latest file, and the project is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Lifted Too Expensive limit
The anvil no longer shows the Too Expensive message, so combining items is not blocked by experience cost.
Incompatible enchantments combined
Enchantments that normally exclude each other, such as Sharpness with Smite, can be placed on one item.
Result taken regardless of cost
The anvil result can be taken whatever the repair or combine cost, with no extra step needed.

A configuration file controls how the mod behaves, so server owners can adjust it to their rules.
