Balanced Anvils Mod changes anvil penalties to make fixing and naming items fair. It removes the XP cost whenever you repair tools or change item names without adding new enchantments. Working on items without upgrading their magic will also prevent the anvil use count from going up. The mod runs in singleplayer worlds and also works on servers without forcing other players to install it.
Features:
- Free Repairs: Fixing items with raw materials or matching gear costs zero XP levels.
- Free Renaming: Changing the name of any item in an anvil is completely free of level costs.
- No Penalty Buildup: Simple repairs and name changes do not increase the hidden anvil work penalty.
- Keeps normal XP costs and penalties active when you add or upgrade enchantments.
- Works on dedicated multiplayer servers as well as in singleplayer worlds.
