About

The Anvil is a utility block that lets players repair damaged tools and weapons by placing two identical items on it, combining their durability. It also renames any item when a name tag is placed on it. Admins typically place anvils in creative hubs or survival shops to help players extend tool life without consuming XP at an enchanting table.

When an anvil is used, it suffers wear and may eventually break into a damaged anvil, then a slightly damaged anvil, before disappearing entirely. This degradation happens naturally over repeated repairs and cannot be prevented, so servers expecting heavy anvil use may need to rebuild or replace them periodically.
