StayLapis
by Nikrecs
StayLapis keeps the lapis lazuli in an enchanting table when the player closes the menu, so it does not return to the inventory.
What it does
Normally, closing an enchanting table gives any unused lapis lazuli back to the player. StayLapis changes that by storing the remaining lapis inside the specific table where it was left. Reopening that same table later shows the stored lapis in the same slot, and another player who opens the table again sees the lapis restored as well.
The lapis that remains is bound to one specific enchanting table, matched by its block position and dimension. If the table is broken or goes missing, the stored lapis is discarded. The mod is a server-side only utility, so players join without installing anything, and it works the same way in singleplayer. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for game versions 1.19.2 – 26.3, and the mod is released under the MIT License, not open source.
Key features
Lapis stays in the table
Unused lapis lazuli remains in the enchanting table when its interface is closed instead of moving back to the inventory.
Per-table storage
Each enchanting table keeps its own stored lapis, identified by its block position and dimension.
Shared slot restore
When another player opens the same table, the stored lapis is restored to its slot, so the table state carries over.
Automatic cleanup
Stored lapis is discarded when its enchanting table is broken or missing, so nothing is kept for a table that no longer exists.

ReEnchant is server-side only like StayLapis, with Fabric files for 1.18.2 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved.
