Minecraft's extensive crafting system allows for a vast array of tools, but their durability necessitates frequent repairs. This guide explains how to repair items, including enchanted ones, with and without an anvil.

Creating an Anvil

Anvils are essential for repairing items. Crafting one requires 4 iron ingots and 3 iron blocks (a total of 31 ingots!), requiring prior ore smelting. Use the crafting table recipe below:

Anvil Functionality
The anvil's crafting menu has three slots; only two can be occupied. Two identical, low-durability tools can be combined into a new, fully repaired one. Alternatively, you can use one of the item's crafting materials for repair.

Repairing consumes experience points; higher durability restoration costs more. Note that some items, including enchanted items, may have specific repair requirements.
Repairing Enchanted Items
Repairing enchanted items is similar to repairing regular items, but requires more experience points and enchanted items or books. Combining two enchanted items may result in a higher-ranked, fully repaired item. The combined enchantments are added together, including durability. Success isn't guaranteed, and the cost varies depending on item placement – experimentation is key!

Enchanting books can also be used in place of a second tool for repair and upgrading.
Anvil Durability and Limitations
Anvils themselves have durability and will eventually break with repeated use, indicated by cracks. Remember to craft replacements. Anvils cannot repair all items; scrolls, books, bows, and chainmail require alternative methods.

Repairing Items Without an Anvil
Minecraft's versatility extends to item repair. A crafting table can combine identical items to increase their durability, offering a convenient alternative, especially during travel.
