ReEnchant
by Bahanos
ReEnchant lets a player put an enchanted item back on an enchanting table and pick a new enchantment for it, without a grindstone first.
What it does
Normally an item must be taken to a grindstone to strip its enchantments before it can be enchanted again. ReEnchant removes that step: an enchantable item that already carries enchantments can be placed on an enchanting table with lapis, and the table offers fresh options as it would for a new item. Choosing one replaces the old enchantments at once.
The mod spends XP and lapis lazuli the same way a normal enchantment does, so the cost stays familiar. It is built with modded enchantments in mind and is listed as compatible with Enchant Repair. The author describes it as used in a Legends Reborn and Medieval modpack setup.
ReEnchant runs on the server only, so players connect without installing it. It is published for Fabric on 25 release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Direct re-enchanting
An enchanted item goes straight onto the enchanting table, with no grindstone step in between.
Normal enchantment options
Enchantment choices appear on the table as they would for an unenchanted item, and one click picks the new result.
Instant replacement
The chosen enchantment replaces the old enchantments immediately after the choice is confirmed.
Standard costs
Experience and lapis lazuli are charged the same way as a normal enchantment.

Use cases
Modpack progression
Modpacks that rely on enchanting can let players rework gear without a separate grindstone trip.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric who want players to change enchantments on existing items, and players on those servers who want that option.
How it compares
Free Enchants is client and server, with files for 1.21.1 only, and it is not open source under the MIT License. Lapis My Zuli is client-side only, for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Enchantment Disabler requires the server while the client may be optional, covers Fabric and NeoForge across 1.16.5 – 26.3, and is open source under the MIT License. ReEnchant differs from all three by running on the server alone, and it is not open source.
