Equipment Inscriber
by ScarletFaith
Equipment Inscriber copies enchantments, attributes and NBT data from one piece of gear onto another of the same type, such as an old diamond sword and a new netherite one.
What it does
Equipment Inscriber uses a block machine with four slots. Slot 0 holds the material item that carries the data, slot 1 holds an Echo Shard as the catalyst, and slot 2 holds the target item that will receive the transfer. The machine shows the result in slot 3 before anything is taken, so a player can check it first, and a finished transfer is removed by taking the item from that slot.
Transfers only work between items of the same type, so a sword moves data to a sword and an armor piece to armor of the same kind. The mod detects and sorts items into categories, including modded equipment that uses standard NBT, and it blocks combinations that do not match. Specific NBT keys can be excluded from the transfer through the config.
The mod is built for Forge and runs for 1.20.1. It needs both the server and the player to have it, since the machine works on the server side and the client shows the preview. Equipment Inscriber is published under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Four-slot transfer machine
Material, catalyst, target and result slots are arranged so a transfer runs from left to right through one block.
Enchantment and attribute transfer
Enchantments, attributes and other NBT data move from the material item onto a target of the same equipment type.
Automatic output preview
The result appears in the output slot before a player takes it, so a transfer can be checked first.
Custom NBT key exclusion
Server owners can list NBT keys that are left out of a transfer, for example data that should stay on the original item.

Use cases
Upgrading gear

Modded equipment
Items from other mods that store data in standard NBT can take part in transfers of the same type.
Who it’s for: Players who want to keep enchantments while upgrading tools, weapons and armor, and server owners who want to limit which NBT keys a transfer copies.
