Grind Enchantments Mod FAQ

Place the grindstone-like block added by the mod and open it to access the grinding interface. Put an enchanted item in the input slot, then choose whether to strip its enchantments or reroll them.

Disenchanting removes the enchantments from an item and turns them into something you can collect, while rerolling replaces an unwanted enchantment with a new random one. Use disenchanting when you want to keep the item's base form, and rerolling when you just want a better enchantment on the same item.

After grinding an enchantment off an item, the extracted enchantment can be applied to a book in the mod's interface. The resulting enchanted book works like any other and can be used in an anvil.

Yes, grinding an enchanted item returns some of the experience that was invested in it. The exact amount depends on the enchantments present, so higher-level enchants generally give back more.

Yes, the mod lets you reroll a single enchantment on an item, replacing it with a different random enchantment. This is useful for removing a bad enchant without losing the rest of the item's enchants.

The grinder only accepts items that actually have enchantments on them. Make sure the item is enchanted and that you're using the correct input slot for the action you want.

No, grinding normally keeps the base item and only removes or changes its enchantments. You can grind the same item multiple times if you want to reroll repeatedly.

The mod focuses on enchanted items, and enchanted books are typically handled differently since they're already in book form. Check the interface to see whether a specific book can be processed.

It generally works with mods that use the standard enchantment system, but custom enchantments from other mods may not always be grindable. If an enchantment doesn't appear, it's likely not supported by the grinder.

The grinder is a simple block-based interface and shouldn't cause noticeable lag on its own. Performance issues are more likely to come from having many of them running at once or from other mods.

It adds new features to the grindstone, letting you disenchant items onto books and move enchantments between books.

Put an enchanted item and a regular book into the grindstone. You get the enchantments onto the book and your unenchanted item back.

Put an enchanted book in the top slot and an empty or already enchanted book in the bottom slot of the grindstone. The enchantment at the top of the first book is put onto the other book.
