Anvil Improvements

Significant quality-of-life changes to anvils, including disenchanting and cost improvements.

Key Features

Removed Cost Limit

The vanilla 40-level anvil cap (“Too Expensive!”) is removed. You can always combine and repair items regardless of cost — as long as you have the levels.

Operations that would normally cost 40+ levels are allowed and will deduct the full level cost.

Enchantment Level Cap Bypass

The vanilla limit on enchantment levels is bypassed on anvils, allowing you to combine enchantments beyond their normal maximum levels where the game otherwise permits it.

Disenchanting

Extract enchantments from an item back onto an enchanted book.

How to Disenchant

1. Place the enchanted item (or Enchanted Book) in the first anvil slot
2. Place a regular Book in the second slot
3. The result slot will show an Enchanted Book with the extracted enchantments
4. Take the result to complete the disenchantment

Rules

• The item must have 2 or more non-curse enchantments (single-enchantment items cannot be disenchanted)
• Curses (Binding, Vanishing) are never extracted
• When disenchanting an Enchanted Book with multiple enchantments, only one enchantment is split off per book
• Extracted enchantments are removed from the source item
• The book is consumed

XP Cost

The level cost scales with the number and level of enchantments extracted. Higher levels cost more.

MiniMessage Renaming

When renaming items in an anvil, you can use MiniMessage formatting syntax for styled item names.

Examples

See the MiniMessage docs for the full formatting syntax.
