Disenchanter
by glisco
Players who want back the enchantments on an old tool can place the Disenchanter, a Fabric and Quilt device that moves enchantments from items onto books.
What it does
The Disenchanter is a block that recovers enchantments from items. Placed alone in its interface, it returns the first enchantment and destroys the item. Putting an optional item in the center slot changes which enchantments come back, and some of those items keep the original item intact during the process.
To use it, craft the block, place it, and open the interface with a right-click. The leftmost slot holds the item to disenchant, the rightmost slot takes the books that receive the enchantments, and the center slot holds the optional item. The center slot may stay empty.
The mod requires Cloth Config API. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is published for 1.17 – 1.21.10 on Fabric and Quilt, with 1.21.10 as the latest target, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Single-enchantment recovery
With no optional item in place, the block returns the first enchantment on the item and destroys the item.
Keeping the item
Some center-slot items recover the first enchantment and keep the item in the process.
Multi-enchantment recovery
Certain center-slot items return two random enchantments, or two random enchantments plus the first one.
Level-based recovery
One center-slot item recovers every enchantment at the highest level present, and another recovers all enchantments with each one reduced by a level.

What the author says
The Disenchanter is a deceptively simple device for recovering enchantments from items. Use it by itself, and the first enchantment will be returned and the item destroyed. Use one of the Catalysts however and you will get a different set of enchantments back. Some of them will even preserve the item in the process!…
