Overview
Stop losing valuable enchantments when repairing or grinding items!
GrindEnchantments is a lightweight, intuitive plugin that enhances the Grindstone's functionality. It allows players to extract specific enchantments from tools, weapons, armor, or even other enchanted books onto a regular Book.
Instead of stripping all enchantments and destroying them for XP, players can now selectively save enchantments by simply clicking a Book in their inventory while using the Grindstone.
✨ Key Features
- ️ Intuitive Interaction: No complex commands or GUIs. Just open the Grindstone, place your enchanted item, and click a Book in your inventory!
- Extract One by One: Extracts enchantments one at a time, giving you full control over what you want to keep.
- Book Splitting: Have a book with "Sharpness V" and "Protection IV"? Use this plugin to split them into two separate books.
- ⚙️ Fully Configurable: Customize XP costs, blacklist specific enchantments (like Curses), or decide if the source item should be destroyed.
- High Performance: Built with Kotlin and optimized for Paper 1.20.1+.
How to Use
- Open the standard Grindstone interface.
- Place the Enchanted Item (or Enchanted Book) in the Top Input Slot.
- Ensure you have a Book and enough XP in your inventory.
- Click the Book inside your inventory.
- Success! An enchantment is extracted from the item onto the book.
