Anvil Splitting

MythicEnchantsAnvilSplit

A physical anvil that falls and lands on a dropped item strips that item's MythicEnchants enchants off and drops them nearby as an enchanted book. The anvil itself lands and behaves exactly like vanilla — placement, damage, downgrade chance all proceed as normal. Splitting is a side effect of the impact, not a replacement for it.

Features

  • No GUI, no command. Drop an enchanted item, drop an anvil on it (sand/gravel-supported and knocked loose, dispenser-fired, or any other way to get a FallingBlock anvil moving), and the split happens on landing.
  • Vanilla physics untouched. The anvil places, takes fall damage, and rolls its usual damage/downgrade chance exactly as it would with this addon absent.
  • Real enchanted books. The resulting book carries genuine EnchantmentStorageMeta stored enchants — usable on any anvil, stackable with other books of the same enchants, and rendered correctly by MythicEnchantsPacketLore if installed.
  • Configurable scope. Choose whether curses are eligible to be split off, whether plain vanilla enchants split too (MythicEnchants-registered enchants always do), a radius around the impact to search for items, and whether one impact/cast peels off a single enchant at a time (in tooltip order) or every eligible enchant at once (optionally capped).
  • Also reachable without an anvil. The same split logic is exposed as a MythicMobs mechanic, so it can run from a skill, NPC interaction, or quest reward.

Install

MythicEnchantsAnvilSplit.jar -> plugins/MythicEnchants/addons/

Restart. Any anvil that lands on a dropped enchanted item now splits it automatically.

Configuration (config.yml)

Key Default What it does
enabled true Master switch.
radius 1.0 Search radius (blocks) around the anvil's landing block for dropped items.
include-vanilla-enchants false false splits only MythicEnchants-registered enchants; true also pulls plain vanilla enchants into the book.
split-curses true Whether cursed MythicEnchants enchants are eligible to be split off. false leaves curses on the original item.
skip-books true Never split an item that is itself an enchanted book.
split-mode all-at-once one-at-a-time pulls exactly one enchant per split — whichever currently sits first in tooltip order (ascending TooltipOrder, unordered enchants last) — so repeated impacts/casts peel enchants off one by one. all-at-once pulls every eligible enchant in a single pass, subject to max-enchants-per-split.
max-enchants-per-split 0 Cap on enchants pulled into one resulting book. Only consulted when split-mode: all-at-once. 0 = no limit.
