No "Too Expensive" (Blacksmithing)
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.


Existed since 1.13, Blacksmithing is a datapack that removes Too Expensive from Anvils!
📜 Features:
- Remove "Too Expensive" from Anvils!
- To trigger this effect, simply click on the items while in the Anvil interface!
- Before 1.21, you need to throw them on the ground first!
- Repair/Recycle used Anvils:
- Cover the Anvil in Iron to repair it by a level!
- Or scrap the entire Anvil by putting it through a Stonecutter!
- Works well with my other datapacks!
- Works in Multiplayer!
- Made and maintained with lots of care. Hope you enjoyed it!

Special thanks to these awesome people for keeping the lights on:
If you like the effort that goes into making all this, help me keep the lights on so I get to do this more often!
📝 PS:
- Each version was designed and optimized for their respective Minecraft release, so you'll always get the best performance and features possible for the releases you're playing on.
- I could make builds that supports multiple versions at once, but it also means adding extra stuff only to support game releases that it won't be run on. It just doesn't make sense to me.
- Due to Modrinth's limitations, this version is not the best of what I've got.
