DisenchantLite
by lambhuna
DisenchantLite lets a player remove enchantments from tools and armor on a vanilla anvil, and split enchanted books into single entries.
What it does
Two anvil operations are added. Placing an enchanted tool or piece of armor in the left slot and a regular book in the right slot yields an enchanted book carrying the removed enchantments, with the item left clean. Putting a book that holds several enchantments into the left anvil slot lets a player pull out one enchantment per operation, and holding shift while clicking splits them apart one by one whenever enough experience books are on hand.
Both operations consume books and experience levels, with the cost depending on the rarity of the enchantment involved. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published only for Fabric.
Builds cover 1.21.8 – 26.2 across eight release versions, with 0.1.3+26.2 for 26.2 as the latest file, published on 2026-08-11. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Disenchant tools and armor
Enchanted tools and armor can be stripped of their enchantments on a vanilla anvil.
Split enchanted books
A book with several enchantments can be broken down so that each enchantment is pulled out separately.
Extract one enchantment at a time
Each click on the anvil removes a single enchantment, and shift-click repeats the process when enough books are present.
Level-based cost
Both operations use books and experience levels, with rarer enchantments costing more.

Use cases
Recovering a favorite enchantment
A player who wants to keep one enchantment from an item can extract it onto a fresh book and apply it elsewhere.
Reusing enchanted gear
Stripping old tools and armor leaves a clean item that can be enchanted again with different enchantments.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want a lightweight disenchanting option that uses the normal anvil and needs no client installation.
