The Anvil: Your Trusty (But Cranky) Repair Buddy
The anvil: It's heavy, it's loud, and sometimes it throws sparks at you like an angry firework. But for all its eccentricities, it's your key to reviving your weary enchanted tools and armor. Here's how this iron behemoth works:
Double the Trouble, Double the Durability: Got a broken pickaxe? Slap another pickaxe (enchanted or not) in the anvil's second slot, and watch your first pickaxe rise from the ashes, like a beautiful, block-breaking phoenix! This works for any item type! Just make sure you're okay with losing the second item's enchantments (the anvil is a bit picky about what enchantments it keeps).
Material Matters, Mending Doesn't: Don't have a spare pickaxe lying around? No sweat! The anvil can also use the base material of the item for repairs. A diamond for your diamond gear, iron for your iron tools – you get the idea.
Beware! The anvil gets grumpy the more you use it for repairs. Each repair comes with an experience level cost, and eventually the anvil will throw a tantrum and refuse to work anymore. Use it wisely!
Mending: The Enchantment That Fixes Everything (Almost)
Forget lugging around a pocketful of spare pickaxes! The Mending enchantment is a lifesaver for any adventurer. Here's the gist:
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
- Experience is the Best Medicine: With Mending, any experience orbs you collect will automatically repair your equipped items. No more trips to the anvil! Just go slay some skeletons or mine some diamonds, and your gear will magically mend itself (almost like magic!).
But wait, there's a catch! Mending only works on tools, weapons, and fishing rods. So, don't go expecting your enchanted diamond boots to fix themselves after a long walk in the Nether.
Pro Tip: If you find a Mending book, put it on your favorite pickaxe or sword. Thank us later.
