Anvil Evolution

⚠️ Known Incompatibility

Easy Anvils is currently incompatible with Anvil Evolution.

Please avoid using it alongside other anvil-related mods, as Anvil Evolution already overhauls the anvil system and includes the features these mods provide.

⚒️ Anvil Evolution

Anvil Evolution reimagines the vanilla anvil system with a full progression of specialized anvils, powerful late-game mechanics, unique effects, and much more freedom when combining enchantments.

Whether you want to build the ultimate enchanted gear, recover some of your XP investment, or simply have more meaningful anvil progression throughout your world, Anvil Evolution gives anvils a reason to evolve with you.

✨ Features

🔨 A New Anvil Progression

Discover a complete lineup of specialized anvils:

• 🟫 Copper Anvil

• 🟨 Gold Anvil

• 🔵 Lapis Anvil

• 🔴 Redstone Anvil

• 🟢 Emerald Anvil

• 💎 Diamond Anvil

• ⚫ Netherite Anvil

• ✨ Enchanted Anvil

Each material has its own properties, making the choice of anvil meaningful instead of simply replacing the vanilla anvil with a stronger version.

⚡ Unique Effects

Every specialized anvil has a unique effect that is granted when you successfully use it.

From Luck, Haste and Water Breathing to Strength, Resistance and powerful Health Boost effects, the anvil you choose can directly benefit your progression.

Higher-tier anvils provide stronger and more valuable bonuses, giving you another reason to upgrade as you progress through the game.

💰 XP Cashback

Why should all that XP disappear forever?

Certain anvils return a percentage of the XP spent when completing an anvil operation.

The better the anvil, the greater the potential reward.

📚 Enchanted Book Cashback

High-tier anvils introduce an additional reward for expensive enchantment work.

When combining enchanted books, advanced anvils can return part of the XP investment, making large-scale enchanting significantly more rewarding.

And some anvils can even preserve the enchanted book instead of consuming it, giving valuable books a chance to survive the operation.

🚫 Goodbye, "Too Expensive!"

The vanilla 40-level anvil limit is gone.

Expensive combinations are no longer automatically rejected simply because you've used an item too many times or the operation costs more than 40 levels.

Build the gear you actually want.

📈 Low Accumulative Prior Work Cost

Repeatedly modifying an item no longer makes the anvil cost spiral out of control as quickly as in vanilla.

Accumulative prior-work penalties are significantly reduced, allowing long-term equipment progression without constantly fighting an ever-growing XP wall.

🧙 Higher Enchantment Levels

Higher-tier anvils can push enchantments beyond their normal vanilla limits.

Depending on the anvil tier, you can reach levels such as:

VI → VII → VIII → IX → X

This opens the door to truly endgame equipment and makes the strongest anvils more than just cosmetic upgrades.

🛠️ Anvil Degradation

Custom anvils aren't immortal.

Each anvil has its own degradation chance and progresses through:

Normal → Chipped → Damaged → Broken

Higher-quality materials are generally more resistant to degradation, giving durability and progression another role in choosing your anvil.

🔧 Recover Your Anvils

Don't want to lose your investment?

Anvils can be deconstructed back into their original materials, allowing you to recover their resources instead of permanently committing them to a block.

💎 Craftable & Recoverable

Custom anvils are fully integrated into the normal Minecraft progression:

Materials → Anvil → Upgrades & Enchanting → Deconstruction → Materials

Build them when you need them. Use them for progression. Recover their resources when you're done.

🎯 Built for Endgame Progression

Anvil Evolution isn't designed to simply make anvils cheaper.

The goal is to create a progression system around anvils, where different materials provide different advantages and the strongest anvils become increasingly valuable as your equipment becomes more powerful.

From your first Copper Anvil to a fully upgraded Enchanted Anvil, there is always another step forward.
