Troubleshooting/FAQ:
Question: I'm upgrading for a previous version to a newer one. Do I need to be careful?
Answer: Updates are generally backwards-compatible concerning the same Minecraft version. Things like blocks, item-metadata and nbt will not change between updates. Config options might change, so it is recommended to reset your configuration by deleting it and reconfiguring it.
Problem: I am using RLCraft (or a similar heavily modded modpack). Items disappear after a single disenchantment!
Fix: The authors of RLCraft have heavily modified the default config-values. Items will break instantly.
Here is a quick explanation how my code works for dealing damage to an item after disenchanting:
while (item has transferable enchantment) {
transfer enchantment;
damage item by (machineDmgMultiplier * (flatDmg + itemMaxDurability * durabiltyDmg +
itemMaxDurability * (reducibleDmg / enchanting power)));
stop if item's durability is lower than 0 or table does not perform bulk-disenchanting;
}
I know the formula seems complicated, but it boils down to this:
- if you use an automatic disenchantment table, multiply all damage by the amount specified in the config as "MachineDamageMultiplier"
- deal a flat amount of damage specified in the config as "FlatDamage"
- deal a percentage of the item's max durability as damage to the item; the percentage is specified in the config as "MaxDurabilityDamage"
- deal a percentage of the item's max durability as damage to the item, but that percentage can be lowered by surrounding the table with blocks with enchanting power (f.e. bookshelves); that percentage is specified in the config as "MaxDurabilityDamageReducible"
Now there can be multiple reasons your item breaks on the first use:
- 1. The flat damage is higher as the item's max durability (if this is set to 0, this cannot be the case)
- 2. The percentage of the Item's max durability dealt to it is 100% aka. 1 in the config. This will break any Item instantly.
- 3. The percentage of the Item's max durability, but reduced, dealt to it is 100% aka. 1 in the config, but no blocks reduce the damage. This will break any Item instantly.
- 4. Those percentages are lower than 1, but increased above 1 by using an automated disenchantment table
You need to open up your config folder for the modpack (usually adjacent to where you would also find resourcepacks; I've been told it is located at .../Curse/Minecraft/Instances/RLCraft/config/disenchanter.cfg specificly and change the relevant values to (MachineDamageMultiplier, FlatDamage, MaxDurabilityDamage, MaxDurabilityDamageReducable) to reasonable values (e.g. in the same order: 2.5, 10, 0.025, 0.2).
A video-tutorial for the steps needed can be found in the Showcases/Guides section above (Configuring the mod via a text-editor / Normal config for RLCraft).
Problem: I am using RLCraft (or a similar heavily modded modpack). I can not craft any of the disenchanting-table variants (even though I can see them in JEI)!
Fix: This happens because of the same reason as above. Please check your config, as the recipes can be disabled individually there.
Specifically you need to set the following values to true:
EnableAutomaticRecipe, EnableVoidingRecipe, EnableBulkDisenchantingRecipe, EnableClearRecipe
Problem: I cannot craft the Jar of Experience or the Cycling-Upgrade, or similar.
Fix: Those are only available in version beyond 1.7 of this Mod. If you use the disenchanter-1.7 or above, these recipes might be diabeled, see above question. Otherwise this might be a bug.
Problem: The automatic disenchantment table is acting up! It behaves wierdly, stops working and only supports hoppers (badly)...
Fix: Please update to a version beyond 1.7 of this Mod. If you experience such an issue with version 1.7 or above, please contact me via Curse or leave an issue on GitHub, as it might be a bug.
If you are experiencing any other issues feel free to contact me on Curse or leave an issue on GitHub!
A note on Project Development and Future Updates:
As I have been repeating every time someone asked me if there is going to be another change in the mod or similar, I am quite busy and have a lot of other projects to work on in my spare time. I have already invested a quite a bit of my free time when making and updating this mod. But it is more successful than I would have ever imagined. And with that success comes a certain amount of responsibility. I have tried maintaining this project for some time but it was always a bit of a hassle. At this point I would be happy to give away my responsibility to someone else willing and capable of maintaining.
That being said, that does not mean this project is discontinued, if no one else takes over. I will continue to respond verbally to requests, etc. as I have been these past few years and all resources will remain online; anybody is able to contribute.
Concerning Modpacks:
This project is licensed under a BSD License, which means you can use it for your modpack, as long as the license is included with the distribution. If you use the files distributed by me, the license will already be included and you have nothing to worry about.

Hey so does this give back somthing on a multi enchant item i have a gold sword with great things but u know i want all of them to be on my diamond sword so can i put all the enchants on 1 book or multiple i dont care just want to know if im able to get all enchants back
In reply to snakerygames:
Hey!
Yeah, that is entirely possible and intentionally so. The only thing you have to remember is, that the item looses durability each time you disenchant something. This makes it unlikely that a gold item will survive transferring more than 3 enchantments.
You can use the new cycling-variant (mod version 1.7 or above) for the disenchantment table to prioritize the enchantments you think are more valuable.
Another thing you can do is to surround the disenchantment table with bookshelves, as you would with a normal enchanting table (botania crystals, etc. work too!). That way a portion of the damage is reduced.
Of course the easy way out would be to edit the config. I chose values for the damage dealt to the item that I think are fair and balanced, but of course there is nothing stopping you from editing those values. You can do so from In-Game (for mod version 1.7 or above that is) by going to mod-options and then selecting disenchanter, but you can edit the config-file manually with a text-editor as well! There is a Video-Guide on how to do that with RLCraft above. The process is the same regardless what mods you have installed, though.
Finally, if you do care if your enchantments are all on the same book, you can use the bulk-disenchantment-variant. Remember that this variant tries to disenchant until there are no more enchantments left. If the item does not have enough durability only the first few enchantments are transferred, before the item breaks.
I'm playing All The Mods 6 and the disenchanter says "Requires Redstone" I dont understand how to use it because ive trie connecting it to a redstone source and nothing changes. Someone please explain.
In reply to littlebow521:
Hey! I actually have no idea what "requires redstone" means, because it certainly is nothing I have programmed into this mod. Therefore I'd suggest asking the people at All The Mods 6.
The normal table certainly does not require any redstone, neither does it provide redstone. Even the automatic version does not require redstone to work.
Can you make a 1.16.4 version of this?
How do I automate disenchanting? I tried putting two hoppers one each side on with the items one with the books, and one hopper below. However the hopper below sucks out the enchanted item the moment it arrives in the disenchanting slot.
In reply to jukutt:
Well it's a bit complicated with hoppers and redstone only. I have a working setup, but it's not the best. I will make a tutorial on it though, I worked on that today.
I'll let you know when it's done.
On the other hand it is very easy to automate if you have some mod that adds itemducts/-pipes or similar and use the voiding upgrade.
Using any side, except the bottom one, you can attach a pipe for input and one for output. It will just work then, if you feed in items via the input-pipe :D
I'll include that in my aforementioned tutorial, too.
In reply to impelon:
I have the import cables from Simple Storage Network, lets see if they make it possible. I assume to automate the normal disenchanter (without voiding) you would have to rewrite the mod so it places the disenchanted weapon + the book into the output.
In reply to jukutt:
Sorry I took this long, had to find the time to also edit the video;
I've uploaded a tutorial, you can find it in the Showcases/Guides-section, or alternatively here:
Certainly there are better ways to do make an automatic setup, but I'm not a redstone-wizzard.
That being said, I added an optional second output-slot on the To-do-list for the next update. That way automation will be easier.
In reply to impelon:
Awesome dude!
Cpuld you bring this up to 1.16.4?
Any plans for 1.16.4?
how do i download this :(
i tried installing the curseforge app and the twitch app and i couldnt get it to work
In reply to sixfootnine_:
Hey, this is not a problem with my mod in general :p
CurseForge is currently in the process of migrating from the twitch app to its own application. It will probably take a bit of time until everything works as expected. You can just manually download the mod from this page here on curseforge.com and put it in your mods-folder!
What's this? Is it a new update for Disenchanter, after all these years? Indeed it is.
Update 1.7 is now available for MinecraftForge 1.12!
First and foremost, what do you need to take into consideration when updating from version 1.6 to 1.7?
Here is a list:
- ids, nbt, etc. remain the same, so no need to worry about disappearing blocks
- the automatic version has new behavior when inserting/extracting items from certain sides; but considering it hardly worked before, this should not upset anyone...
- config-options have been renamed, so I recommend deleting any old configurations for this mod and editing the new one; here is a short list of changes:
- options to enable/disable crafting-recipes have been moved into their own category ("crafting")
- option to check version on startup has been removed, as disenchanter uses the forge update checker for this task now
- the "general"-config category has been removed
- "MaxDurabilityDamageReduceable" has been renamed to "MaxDurabilityDamageReducible", as that is the correct spelling
I've already updated the mod's page so you can find some new images/texts that describe new features.
I can confidently say this is the biggest update this mod has experienced in terms of code-changes. Everything has been reworked and modernized.
This time around we do actually have a few notable new features that should not go without mention:
1. There is finally a way to disenchant any other enchantment but the first. It comes in the form of a new upgrade/variant: Cycling! The cycling disenchantment table will periodically cycle through all available enchantments, so you can choose which one to transfer. (Check the new images above.)
2. A new item has been added, complementing the disenchantment table: The Jar of Experience! You can use this item to convert enchantments into experience, instead of transferring it to an enchanted book. You can extract any stored experience from the jar by drinking (hold right-click). Each sip will give you experience points until you reach the next level. Holding shift while drinking will transfer all stored xp in one sip. You use the jar by placing it in the slot where one would usually place the book for disenchanting. The experience gained is computed via a flat amount and percentages of the enchantments min. and max. enchantability; of course the exact details can be configured in the config.
3. Speaking of the configuration, besides there being some changes in the config (I recommend deleting old configurations and reconfiguring the mod) and some new options, the config can now be accessed in-game! (Go to Mod Options... > Disenchanter > Config) This should make the task of configuration much more comfortable. Of course the config is still only local, so any in-game changes this will not affect servers. I also recommend checking out the new config-settings.
4. Multiple issues with the automatic version of the table have finally, FINALLY been resolved. It should now work without any issues. I've already build a fully automated system with it using only vanilla components. Using pipes, etc. from other mods and the voiding version makes the automation task even easier; you can then use just two pipes on the sides of the block, one for inputs, one for output.
On the top and the sides of the automatic table, items can be inserted in any slot, except the output. Items from the output slot can be extracted, others not.
On the bottom side of the automatic table items can be inserted in any slot, but only items from the source/1st slot and the output slot can be extracted.
I tried to set these up so automation is both possible with vanilla, and as easy as possible with other mods.
5. On that note: Books/jars can only be inserted into the book/2nd slot. Automation is therefore less complicated.
6. The active upgrades of a table will be shown in its GUI now, too.
I won't paste the complete changelog here this time, as you can just check the changelog on the page for the new file, or on GitHub.
Also as you can see, 1.12 is the only Minecraft-version this has been released to. All older versions will not get any future updates.
That being said, I'm planning to port to newer Minecraft-versions now (1.14, 1.15 AND 1.16), soonish/later.
There are a few features that I have not included in the 1.7 update, such as an optional XP-cost. Here are the changes planned for the next update:
- add fluid-xp capability to the Jar of Experience and the automated table
- this means you can insert xp into the automated table and extract xp from the jar
- use this to implement the optional xp cost for the automatic verion
- add an xp cost, similar to how the enchantment-to-experience conversion works for the Jar of Experience
- fix any bugs that appear with update 1.7
We'll see what happens first, either I port update 1.7 up to Minecraft 1.14+ and later update 1.8, or I first release update 1.8 for Minecraft 1.12 and port later.
As always I appreciate feedback and bug reports. You can leave them here on Curse or open an issue on the GitHub-page. This is your chance to get even minor bugs fixed, as update 1.8 will probably be the last update for a long time coming.
I almost forgot I also wanted to highlight some changes that might be of special interest to modpack-creators:
- Disenchanter now uses the JSON-recipe system introduced in Minecraft 1.12; this means you can easily customize recipes without editing code. You can do so by editing the internal recipe-JSONs or with a datapack.
- You can disable certain items or enchantments from being used in the disenchantment table via the config. You can even use regular expressions for this task.
- The capacity of the jar of experience is entirely customizable via the config.
As before, you can manually enable/disable recipes via the config, even for the new Jar of Experience and now also for the Disenchantment Table. This makes those items unobtainable through normal crafting, essentially disabling these features.
This means that if you dislike the new features, you can still update and turn them off.
In reply to impelon:
Thanks man! We love the mod ;D
In reply to wingsofcrime:
Glad you enjoy it!
Hey everyone, I've just released version 1.7 for Minecraft 1.12.
I'll follow up with some explanations and feature-documentation later tomorrow!
In reply to impelon:
Oooh this was an unexpected surprise! I'm looking through changelogs now.
