What Is Anvil in Minecraft?

An Anvil is a heavy iron block you can use to repair gear, rename items and combine enchanted books - all without losing your enchantments!

How Does Anvil Work?

Each use has a 12% chance of chipping it. On average it lasts about 25 uses before it breaks completely.
If it falls from a height it can land on mobs and players, dealing damage (2 hearts per block fallen after the first).
It's nearly explosion-proof, with a blast resistance of 1,200 - same as an Obsidian wall.

How to Use Anvil

How to Repair Items with Anvil

Put two identical items in and it combines their durability, plus a little bonus.
Or put the item and its base material (e.g. diamonds for diamond tools) to repair it.

How to Rename Items with Anvil

Put any item in the left slot and type a new name - costs just 1 level.

How to Combine Enchantments with Anvil

Put an enchanted book in the right slot to add its enchantment to a tool or weapon.
You can also combine two items of the same type to merge their enchantments together.

Watch Your Level Costs!

Once a repair costs more than 39 levels, the Anvil will refuse it.
Each time you use an item on the Anvil, future repairs on that item get more expensive.
