Stable anvil cost
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.18–1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
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.
This mod changes the way that anvil costs are calculated and allow you to custom the tooltip color of the item.
- The XP cost only depends on the enchantments to be added, and their levels. It ignores how many times the item has been enchanted.
- Curses reduce the cost of a fusion.
- No more penalties are applied when you enchant one item multiple times.
- Remove the cost limitation, no more 'Too expensive' message.
Renaming an item is free.
Repairing an item only costs the material, not XP:
Dye can be applied to an item to change its tooltip color.
