What is Chipped Anvil in Minecraft?
A chipped anvil is a slightly damaged version of a regular anvil. It works in exactly the same way, allowing you to repair items, combine enchantments, and rename things, but it has less durability left. It looks like a regular anvil but with a noticeable crack on its surface. This shows that it has already been used a fair amount. Anvils have a limited number of uses before they break, and a chipped anvil is in the second of three stages of its life. While it is not as good as a brand new anvil, a chipped anvil is still an incredibly useful block for maintaining and upgrading your gear. It is just a little closer to breaking.
How to get Chipped Anvil in Minecraft
You cannot craft a chipped anvil directly. A chipped anvil is created when a regular, undamaged anvil has been used enough times to degrade to its next damage state. Every time you use an anvil, there is a chance it will become damaged. After an average of about 8 uses, a new anvil will turn into a chipped anvil. You can also get a chipped anvil by continuing to use a damaged anvil, which is the most broken state. If you are very lucky, you might find a chipped anvil that has generated naturally in the forge room of a woodland mansion. These are very rare structures, so your most likely way of getting one is by using a regular anvil until it becomes chipped. You can mine a chipped anvil with a pickaxe to pick it up and move it.
How to use Chipped Anvil in Minecraft
A chipped anvil has the exact same three functions as a regular anvil, but with fewer uses left before it breaks completely. The first use is repairing items. You can combine a damaged tool with its base material to restore durability. The second use is enchanting. You can combine an item with an enchanted book to add that enchantment, or combine two enchanted items to merge their enchantments. This is essential for getting the best gear. The third use is renaming. For one experience level, you can rename any item. A chipped anvil will eventually become a "damaged anvil" after more uses, and then it will break and disappear forever. Because it is already damaged, you should use it wisely, saving it for your most important repairs and enchantments.
