To disenchant in Minecraft, you need to destroy the enhancement with a Grindstone. While you can keep the enchantment, you can use an Anvil to create a new enchantment. This wikiHow will show you how to disenchant items in Minecraft.
Things You Should Know
- To disenchant an item in Minecraft, place it into a Grindstone. This creates a non-enchanted item of the same type and durability.
- Combine two enchanted items in an Anvil to create a new item with a new enchantment.
- Remove curses by placing two cursed items in a crafting table.
Steps
-
Obtain a Grindstone. You can find Grindstones inside a village weaponsmith's structure.- You can also craft a Grindstone with 2 Sticks, 1 Stone Slab, and 2 of any Planks. [1] X Research source
- If you're using Bedrock Edition, place a supporting block underneath the Grindstone. Otherwise, it will break upon use.
-
Place the enchanted item in the input slot. When you place one enchanted item in the input slot, you'll create a new, non-enchanted item of the same type and durability.- If you place two items of the same type (enchanted, mixed, or non-enchanted), you'll create a new, non-enchanted item of that type. The durability will be the sum of the two input items' durability. If either of the items were enchanted, you'll receive some experience.
