Crafting an Anvil

Anvils are essential for item repair. Creating one requires 4 iron ingots and 3 iron blocks (a total of 31 ingots!), demanding significant iron ore mining and smelting. Use the crafting recipe below:

How the Anvil Works

The anvil's crafting menu has three slots; use two to repair. Two identical, damaged items combine into a single, fully repaired item. You can also combine a damaged item with crafting materials to repair it partially.

Repairing consumes experience points; more durability restored equals higher cost. Some items have unique repair requirements.

Repairing Enchanted Items

Repairing enchanted items is similar, but requires more experience points and uses enchanted items or enchanted books. Combining two enchanted items can create a higher-level, fully repaired item. The combined enchantment levels are added, including durability. Success isn't guaranteed, and the cost varies depending on item placement – experiment!

You can also use enchanted books instead of a second enchanted item.

Anvil Limitations

Anvils have limited durability and will eventually break. They also cannot repair certain items like scrolls, books, bows, and chainmail.

Repairing Items Without an Anvil

Minecraft offers alternatives! A crafting table allows combining identical items to increase durability. This is efficient for on-the-go repairs.
