The Anvil: Your Not-So-Friendly Neighborhood Blacksmith

The anvil is your main weapon in the fight against tool and armor decay. This hefty hunk of iron can be your best friend, or your worst enemy (depending on how much experience you're willing to cough up). Here's how it works:

  • Just Like New (For a Price): Place your broken enchanted item in the first slot of the anvil, and then pop in either another item of the same type, or the material it's made from (diamonds for a pickaxe, leather for your favorite chestplate, etc.). Poof! Repaired enchantment! But remember, the anvil likes to charge a fee in the form of experience points. The more beat-up your item, the steeper the price.
  • Double the Trouble, Double the Fun (and Durability): Got two slightly damaged picks? Chuck 'em both in the anvil! This Frankenstein method combines their durability, essentially creating a super pickaxe! You can even do this with enchanted items, but be warned: the enchantments might not always merge perfectly.

Word to the Wise: Anvils are finicky. Use them too much on the same item, and they'll eventually throw a "Too Expensive!" tantrum. Maybe take a blacksmithing class in your spare time?

  • Goodbye Enchantments, Hello Fresh Start: Slap two identical items (enchanted or not) into the grindstone, and out pops a single, repaired version...minus any enchantments. This is handy if you messed up an enchantment or just want a basic tool again.

Think Twice Before You Grind: This method is a one-way street. Those precious enchantments are gone forever!

Mending: Your Gear's Guardian Angel

Here's a magical solution that doesn't involve anvils or throwing things away: the Mending enchantment. This beauty repairs your gear as you collect experience orbs. Basically, the more you fight and explore, the stronger your stuff gets!

Mending is a Game Changer: Look for this enchantment on armor and tools. It's a lifesaver, especially for frequently used items.
