Enchantment Transfer Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I transfer an enchantment from my sword to a book?
Place your enchanted sword and an empty book in the transfer interface (check your guides for the exact setup). The mod will show you the experience cost required, and once you confirm, the enchantment moves to the book and the sword loses it.
Can I transfer enchantments from tools like pickaxes?
Yes, the mod works with any enchanted item—weapons, tools, armor, and more. The transfer process is the same regardless of item type.
What happens if I transfer multiple enchantments at once?
You can transfer all enchantments from a single item to books in one operation, but each enchantment requires its own book and contributes to the total experience cost.
Why does transferring cost experience?
The mod balances transfers by consuming experience to prevent the feature from being too powerful. You can adjust these costs in the config file to match your preferred difficulty.
Can I transfer an enchantment back from a book to another item?
No, the mod only transfers enchantments from items to books. Once on a book, you apply it to new items using an anvil as normal.
Does this work with enchanted books I find in the world?
No, the transfer feature only works with enchantments currently on items. Books already containing enchantments cannot be used as sources for transfer.
What if my item is too damaged to repair normally?
Transferring enchantments lets you rescue them before the item breaks completely, preserving those enchantments for use on a new item.
Can I customize how much experience each transfer costs?
Yes, open the config file and adjust the transfer cost settings to rebalance the feature for your world.
Does this mod conflict with other enchantment mods?
The mod is designed to work alongside vanilla enchanting, but compatibility with other mods depends on how they modify enchantments—check mod documentation or test in your setup.
Can I transfer enchantments that don't normally go together?
The mod transfers whatever enchantments are on the item, but applying incompatible enchantments to a new item will still follow vanilla rules (for example, you can't put Silk Touch and Fortune on the same pickaxe).
