Anvil Functionality

The anvil's crafting menu has three slots; you'll typically use two. Place two identical, damaged items to create a fully repaired item. Alternatively, combine a damaged item with crafting materials to repair it partially.

Repairing consumes experience points; higher durability restoration requires more experience. Note that some items have unique repair requirements.

Repairing Enchanted Items

Repairing enchanted items is similar to repairing regular items, but it requires more experience points and often involves using additional enchanted items or enchanted books.

Combining two enchanted items yields a repaired item with potentially enhanced enchantments. The combined enchantments from both items are added together, including durability. Success isn't guaranteed, and the cost varies depending on item placement—experiment to find the most efficient approach!

You can also use enchanted books in place of a second enchanted item to improve enchantments.

Anvil Limitations

Anvils have their own durability and will eventually break. They cannot repair all items; scrolls, books, bows, and chainmail require different methods.

Repairing Items Without an Anvil

Minecraft's versatility extends to item repair. A crafting table offers a simpler alternative, allowing you to combine identical items to increase their durability. This is particularly useful during travel.
