Enchantment Transfer
by treekicker4
With Enchantment Transfer, a player can move enchantments from one item onto a book by combining them in an anvil, paying experience for the transfer.
What it does
The mod lets an anvil copy the enchantments of an item onto an enchanted book, which is then used to move them elsewhere. The cost is experience, and the amount follows the same calculation that vanilla anvil repairs use, so the price stays comparable to ordinary anvil work.
The XP cost and the number of enchantments that can be transferred at once are set in the mod's configuration file, where a fixed level cost can also replace the calculated one. Vanilla Minecraft has no way to run an anvil transfer for free, so this mod still takes 1 XP level even when the fixed cost is set to 0. The mod adds no items, blocks or ores, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
Enchantment Transfer is published for Fabric 1.20.1 and Forge 1.21, with the latest Fabric file dated 2024-03-28 and the latest Forge file dated 2024-08-05. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
Key features
Anvil enchantment transfer
Enchantments on one item are moved onto an enchanted book through the anvil interface.
Vanilla-matched XP cost
The experience price replicates the vanilla anvil calculation, so each transfer costs what the same combination would cost in vanilla.
Configurable cost
The XP cost can be halved or fixed to a set number of levels, and a limit can be placed on how many enchantments transfer.
No new content
The mod adds no items, blocks or ores, so it leaves the vanilla item set unchanged.

How it compares
Disenchant On Anvil is a Fabric-only mod for 1.20.1 – 26.2 under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Burn's Enchantment Extractor works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 under All rights reserved, which makes it the broader choice across loaders. Over-Enchantment Anvil is server-side only, published for Fabric 1.21 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, so players need nothing installed.
