Improved Anvils Mod (1.21.11, 1.20.1) – Removes The “To Expensive” Message On Anvils

Anvils in Minecraft place a limit on how much an item can be enchanted and repaired. This limit is set to 40 levels by the game. If the cost of an anvil action requires more than 40 levels, the anvil will simply give out a “Too Expensive” warning and do not allow you to execute the action. Imagine having 200 levels of experience and a mere limit of 40 levels preventing you from using an anvil. The Improved Anvils modImproved Anvils Mod is here to change that. This mod, as the name suggests, improves the functionality of anvils by removing the 40 level limit. A list of changes/features as noted by the developer are listed below.

Features:

General Changes

• Anvil costs do not accumulate from anvil usages.
• Anvil costs are no longer capped at 40 levels.
• Anvil costs are now based on points, not levels.

Enchanting Improvements

• Enchantments will be transferred at the same cost it would take to apply them from a book.
• Durability will be combined in the vanilla way, with the cost being 1 XP per 4 durability added (half the cost of Mending).
• If you combine any bow with an Infinity bow, to balance it with Mending, the cost of the repair will be 1 XP per 1 durability added (twice the cost of Mending).

• Maces and shovels can now be completely repaired using 1 material.
• Swords and hoes repair 50% per material.
