Anvils are essential for item repair. Crafting one requires 4 iron ingots and 3 iron blocks (31 ingots total). Remember to smelt the iron ore beforehand using a furnace or blast furnace. Use the crafting table recipe below:

Anvil Functionality
To repair, open the anvil's three-slot crafting menu. You can combine two identical, low-durability items to create a new one. Alternatively, combine a damaged item with crafting materials to restore durability. Note that some items, particularly enchanted ones, may require specific repair methods. Repairing consumes experience points; more durability restored equals greater XP cost.
Repairing Enchanted Items
Repairing enchanted items is similar to repairing regular items, but it requires more experience points and often involves using additional enchanted items or enchanted books.
Placing two enchanted items in the anvil will combine their enchantments and durability, potentially resulting in a higher-level, fully repaired item. The enchantment combination is not guaranteed and the XP cost varies depending on item placement – experimentation is key!

You can also use enchanted books to enhance existing enchantments.
Anvil Limitations
Anvils themselves have durability and will eventually break after repeated use, indicated by cracks. Remember to craft replacements. Importantly, anvils 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, particularly useful during travel. Combine identical items in the crafting table interface to increase their durability. This is a more efficient method than carrying an anvil.

Beyond these methods, further experimentation with materials and resources might reveal additional repair techniques. Explore and discover the most efficient repair strategies for your Minecraft adventures.
