Experience Remover
by SmushyTaco
Experience Remover strips the experience system from the enchantment table and anvil, leaving those blocks purely cosmetic.
What it does
The Experience Remover mod makes the enchantment table and anvil purely cosmetic, so using them costs no experience levels. A config file lets the server owner enable or disable the change. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player must install it. Files are published for Fabric across 25 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.2, and the code is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.
Key features
Cosmetic enchanting
Enchantment tables no longer spend experience levels when an enchantment is applied.
Cosmetic anvils
Anvils repair and combine items without the experience cost they normally carry.
Config toggle
A config option turns the removal on or off, so a server can keep the vanilla behavior.
