Anvils are crucial for item repair. Crafting one requires 4 iron ingots and 3 iron blocks (a total of 31 ingots!), a significant investment. After smelting iron ore in a furnace or blast furnace, use the crafting table recipe below:

Anvil Usage
The anvil's crafting menu has three slots, typically using two items. Repairing involves combining two similar, damaged tools to create a new, more durable one.

Alternatively, combine a damaged item with crafting materials to repair it.

Repairing consumes experience points; higher durability restoration requires more XP. Specific items may have unique repair requirements.
Repairing Enchanted Items
Repairing enchanted items is similar to repairing regular ones, but requires more experience points and often uses additional enchanted items or enchanted books. Combining two enchanted items can result in a higher-level, fully repaired item, combining their enchantments and durability. The outcome isn't guaranteed and the cost varies depending on item placement – experimentation is key!

Enchanted books can also be used in place of a second enchanted item.
Anvil Limitations
Anvils, while durable, have limited uses and will eventually break. They 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 offers a simpler alternative, especially during travel. Combining identical items in the crafting table increases their durability, similar to using an anvil.
