✨ Features

🔹 Requires Anvil Disenchanter

Anvil Disenchanter: Extraction Addon expands the main Anvil Disenchanter mod with additional extraction methods using existing Minecraft blocks.

The main Anvil Disenchanter mod must be installed for the addon to work.

This addon does not replace the original obsidian and crying obsidian mechanics. It adds new specialised options for players who want more control over enchantments, curses and recovered experience.

🔹 Four New Extraction Methods

The addon adds four specialised blocks:

Sculk Catalyst — XP Salvage
Soul Sand — Curse Destruction
Amethyst Block — Careful Extraction
Ancient Debris — Perfect Disenchanting

Each block performs a different type of disenchanting operation.

Choose the block based on what you want to do with the enchanted item.

🔹 How to Use

You will need:

1 supported extraction block
1 anvil
1 enchanted weapon, tool or piece of armor
Normal books when required by the selected method

Place the chosen extraction block on the ground.

Drop exactly one enchanted source item on top of it, together with any required books.

Next, drop an anvil from above so that it lands directly on the block and the items.

The addon will detect which block is being used and perform the matching extraction method.

The supported blocks are:

Sculk Catalyst
Soul Sand
Amethyst Block
Ancient Debris

Stacked enchanted source items are not supported.

🔹 Sculk Catalyst — XP Salvage

The Sculk Catalyst provides an alternative way to process enchanted equipment by converting enchantment value into experience.

This method is intended for players who do not need the enchantments as books but still want to recover part of their value.

The amount of experience returned can be adjusted through the configuration settings.

Use this method when:

You want experience instead of enchanted books
The enchantments are no longer useful
You want to recycle old enchanted equipment
You need experience for enchanting or anvil work

🔹 Soul Sand — Curse Destruction

Soul Sand is used to destroy curses on enchanted equipment.

This method is intended for situations where a cursed item needs to be cleaned without preserving the curse as an enchanted book.

Destroyed curses are removed permanently.

Use this method when:

An item has Curse of Binding
An item has Curse of Vanishing
A modded curse is making the item difficult to use
You want the curse removed instead of extracted

Curse handling and supported behaviour can be adjusted in the configuration settings.

🔹 Amethyst Block — Careful Extraction

The Amethyst Block provides a more controlled extraction method.

It is designed for players who want a safer or more careful alternative to normal disenchanting.

Depending on the configured settings, this method can offer different costs, effects or extraction behaviour compared with standard obsidian.

Use this method when:

The enchanted item is valuable
You want a more controlled extraction method
You want to preserve important enchantments
You prefer a specialised alternative to normal obsidian

The exact behaviour can be adjusted through the addon’s configuration screen.

🔹 Ancient Debris — Perfect Disenchanting

Ancient Debris provides the addon’s highest-tier extraction method.

It is intended for valuable equipment where the player wants the best available disenchanting result.

Because Ancient Debris is rare, this method is designed as a powerful late-game option rather than an everyday extraction block.

Use this method when:

The source item is extremely valuable
The enchantments must be handled carefully
You want the addon’s strongest extraction option
You are willing to use a rare block for a better result

Its exact costs and behaviour can be changed through the configuration settings.

🔹 Exactly One Enchanted Source Item

Each operation works with exactly one enchanted weapon, tool or piece of armor.

Stacked source items are intentionally rejected.

This prevents:

Item duplication
Accidental mass processing
Multiple enchanted items being mixed together
Unclear extraction results

When multiple source items are detected, the operation is cancelled and the items remain unchanged.

🔹 Normal Books When Required

Some extraction methods may require normal books to receive transferred enchantments.

By default, each extracted enchantment can require its own normal book.

When there are not enough books:

The operation is cancelled
No enchantments are removed
The source item remains unchanged
Nearby players receive an explanation

Book requirements and output behaviour can be changed in the configuration settings.

🔹 Clear Success and Failure Feedback

The addon provides clear feedback when an extraction succeeds or fails.

Nearby players can receive messages explaining why the operation could not continue.

Possible reasons include:

Not enough books
More than one enchanted source item
Stacked source items
Unsupported extraction block
Invalid source item
No valid enchantments or curses
Blacklisted items
Blacklisted enchantments
Disabled extraction method

Messages can be enabled or disabled in the configuration settings.

🔹 Sounds and Particle Effects

Each extraction method can use its own sounds and particles.

Successful and failed operations have separate feedback so it is immediately clear what happened.

Depending on the selected block, the addon can use effects suited to:

Sculk and experience
Souls and curses
Amethyst magic
Ancient Debris and perfect extraction
Successful operations
Failed operations

Sounds and particles can be adjusted or disabled through the configuration screen.

🔹 Configurable XP Returns

Experience recovered through the Sculk Catalyst method can be configured.

Settings can control how much XP is returned and whether XP salvage is enabled.

This lets modpack creators choose between:

A more generous recycling system
A balanced survival system
A difficult progression system
Completely disabling XP salvage

🔹 Item and Enchantment Blacklists

Items and enchantments can be prevented from working with the addon.

This is useful for:

Soulbound equipment
Quest items
Unique modded artifacts
Unbreakable equipment
Special curses
Enchantments that should never be extracted

When a blacklisted item or enchantment is detected, the operation is cancelled and the player receives feedback.

🔹 JEI Extraction Guide

When JEI is installed, the addon adds an Anvil Extraction Guide.

The guide explains every extraction block using clear pages with icons and short descriptions.

The JEI guide covers:

Obsidian
Crying Obsidian
Sculk Catalyst
Soul Sand
Amethyst Block
Ancient Debris

Hover a supported block or item in JEI and press U to view its uses and open the extraction guide.

JEI is optional. The addon still works without it.

🔹 In-Game Configuration Screen

The addon includes an in-game configuration screen.

Open:

Mods
→ Anvil Disenchanter: Extraction Addon
→ Config

Settings can be changed without manually editing the configuration file.

Configurable options include:

Enable or disable each extraction block
Book requirements
Curse behaviour
XP salvage values
Sounds
Particle effects
Success and failure messages
Anvil damage behaviour
Item blacklists
Enchantment blacklists
Output protection
Pickup delay
Output despawn time
Debug logging

The configuration file is created inside the Minecraft config folder after starting the game once.
