Module Type	Stand Alone

Compatible MC Versions	1.8, 1.12+

This module allows players to, with mixed success, transfer the enchantments on tools, weapons and armor onto enchanted books for reuse.

Features

To extract an enchantment, the player must throw an enchanted item on top of an Enchantment Extractor. The enchantment will be removed from the item, but the item will not be deleted. There is a chance that the enchantment will be placed on a book inside the extractor.

If extraction fails, either a puff of smoke releases, or a "Congealed Enchantment" or "Living Enchantment" (vex) is spawned. A Congealed Enchantment will die after 5 seconds, but a Living Enchantment will stay alive until it is killed or naturally despawns.

No book is required for extraction; the Extractor creates the book if it successfully extracts an enchantment. Powerful Enchantments (Mending, Sharpness V, Power V, Silk Touch, Efficiency V, Looting III) have a 3% chance to be cursed with Curse of Vanishing when extracted.
