About this project
What does Easy Anvils (Backport) add?
Easy Anvils makes anvils more convenient, less frustrating, and far more practical to use. 🔨 Items stay inside the interface when you close it, while the contents are rendered directly on the block for a more immersive experience.
The mod also reworks several vanilla anvil mechanics that can make repairing and upgrading gear unnecessarily tedious. Prior work penalties become much less restrictive, repair costs stay reasonable for longer, and several common actions are made more affordable. ✨
From repairing damaged anvils to free renaming and formatting support, this mod delivers a collection of quality-of-life improvements that make anvils feel better throughout the entire game.
- 🔨 Persistent Anvils: Items remain inside the anvil after closing the interface instead of popping back into your inventory.
- 👀 Visible Contents: Items placed in an anvil are rendered directly on the block in the world.
- 📉 Reduced Prior Work Penalties: Repairing and renaming no longer suffer from rapidly escalating prior work costs.
- ✨ More Affordable Enchanting: Enchanted book application costs are reduced and expensive operations are far less restrictive.
- 🏷️ Free Renaming: Renaming items can be performed without spending experience levels.
- 🎨 Formatting Support: Item names support formatting codes for custom colors and text styles.
- 🛠️ Repair Damaged Anvils: Use iron blocks to restore anvils and extend their lifespan.
- 💪 More Durable Anvils: Anvils are less likely to become damaged or break during use.
- ⚙️ Highly Configurable: Fine tune repair costs, prior work penalties, durability, and many other mechanics.
