📢 Overview

Ever lost valuable enchantments by mistake at a Grindstone?

GrindEnchantments lets players selectively extract enchantments one by one from items or enchanted books, saving them safely onto Books — without commands, GUIs, or complexity.

✨ Key Features

• 🖱️ Intuitive Interaction: No complex commands or GUIs. Just open the Grindstone, place your enchanted item, and click a Book in your inventory!
• 💎 Extract One by One: Extracts enchantments one at a time, giving you full control over what you want to keep.
• 📚 Book Splitting: Have a book with "Sharpness V" and "Protection IV"? Use this plugin to split them into two separate books.
• ⚙️ Fully Configurable: Customize XP costs, blacklist specific enchantments (like Curses), or decide if the source item should be destroyed.
• 🚀 High Performance: Built with Kotlin and optimized for 1.14+.

🎮 How to Use

1. Open the standard Grindstone interface.
2. Place the Enchanted Item (or Enchanted Book) in the Top Input Slot.
3. Ensure you have a Book and enough XP in your inventory.
4. Click the Book inside your inventory.
5. Success! An enchantment is extracted from the item onto the book.

⚠️ Important: You must click the Book inside your inventory, not the Grindstone result slot.
