Easy Disenchanting
by Txni
Easy Disenchanting lets players pull enchantments off gear with an anvil, without any new blocks or items, and it works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
An enchanted item placed in an anvil with an empty book transfers its enchantments onto the book, which leaves the item without them. Placing the book in the first slot instead merges enchantments onto a book that already carries some, following the same rules as combining two enchanted books.
Its cost matches the vanilla cost of combining enchantments, and the disenchanted item is returned to the player by default. Both behaviors can be adjusted in the config file to change the balance. The mod is a rewrite of Enchantment Transfer, brought up to newer Minecraft versions with bug fixes and the added ability to combine enchantments onto existing books. It depends on Fabric API and TxniLib, and it is licensed under a custom license; the project is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 1.20 – 1.21.5, with the latest Fabric build for 1.21.5, the latest Forge build for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge build for 1.21.1.
Key features
Anvil extraction
Combining an enchanted item with an empty book in an anvil moves its enchantments onto the book.
Merging onto enchanted books
Placing an already enchanted book in the first anvil slot merges the enchantments of both.
Adjustable cost
The anvil cost can be changed in the config file to suit a different balance.
Item return
The disenchanted item comes back to the player by default, and this can be turned off in the config.
