About

The Grindstone is a utility block that allows players to disenchant items or combine two damaged tools to repair them. When an item is placed in the grindstone, it removes all enchantments and returns a portion of the experience cost as XP orbs, making it valuable for managing enchanted gear on survival servers.

Grindstones are stackable and can be broken with any tool. They serve as a practical alternative to destroying enchanted items outright, especially when you want to recover some of the magical investment players have made. Use the give command to hand them out, or have them available in a community workshop area so players can manage their equipment without losing value entirely.
