In today’s post, you will learn how to craft and use Anvil in Minecraft. You can use the table of contents above to navigate quickly, whenever you want.
Anvil Overview
The Anvil.
You can use Anvil to repair, rename, or give/combine enchantment(s) to an item. Anvil is just like Sand and, Gravel it affects by gravity. Meaning that Anvil will fall if no block holds it.
Unlike any useable items, Anvil has durability. It will break and eventually destroyed as you use it.

How to Repair an Item Using Anvil
Repairing an Item using Anvil.
You may need to repair your item, especially if your item durability is at a low level.
To repair an item, put your damaged item in the left slot and put the material you want to use on the right slot. Make sure you have enough XP to repair your item.
There are two options to repair an item using Anvil.
First, using the material they made of like, Diamonds, Iron Ingots, Gold Ingots, Netherite Ingots, etc. For example, you can repair a Diamond Sword using Diamonds.
The second method is to use another item that has the same type. For example, you can repair a Diamond Sword using another Diamond Sword. But I don’t recommend this method it’s wasteful.
You can see the table below to know what kind of material/item require to repair an item.
