Diamond Anvils

Diamond Anvils

Give your workshop an upgrade. **Diamond Anvils** adds **Gold, Diamond and Netherite Anvils** with the familiar vanilla shape, lower XP costs and a clear crafting progression.

Gold and Diamond make everyday repairs cheaper and reduce wear. The ultimate upgrade is a **Netherite Anvil that never wears out from use or falling**, with a maximum operation cost of **128 levels** and a recipe that demands a serious investment.

## Choose your upgrade

XP costs round up, with a minimum of one level for a valid operation. The maximum applies **after the discount**. Only Netherite raises the operation limit: **128 levels is allowed; 129 is blocked**. Rename-only operations retain the vanilla 39-level cap.

## Familiar anvil behavior

– Repair damaged tools and armor, combine compatible enchantments, and rename items.
– Keep vanilla enchantment compatibility, maximum enchantment levels, repair materials and prior-work penalties.
– Gold and Diamond each have pristine, chipped and damaged stages.
– Netherite never chips or breaks through use or falling; it resists explosions, and its dropped item resists fire and lava.
– Mine and relocate your anvils. Gold requires an iron-or-better pickaxe; Diamond and Netherite require diamond-or-better.
– Tooltips show the XP discount, maximum cost and wear behavior.
– Recipes appear in the recipe book; all seven anvil variants appear in the Functional Blocks creative tab.

## Crafting progression

**Gold Anvil:** surround a pristine vanilla anvil with **8 gold ingots**.

**Diamond Anvil:** surround a pristine Gold Anvil with **8 diamonds**.

**Netherite Anvil:** combine **4 netherite blocks, 3 netherite ingots, 1 nether star and 1 pristine Diamond Anvil** in a crafting table:

“`text
Netherite Block | Nether Star     | Netherite Block
Netherite Ingot | Diamond Anvil   | Netherite Ingot
Netherite Block | Netherite Ingot | Netherite Block
“`

That is **39 netherite ingots’ worth of netherite material**, plus the star and Diamond Anvil. There is no cheaper smithing alternative.
