If you played Minecraft, you probably know about how useful the anvils are. However, as anvils are damaged over time, you will need to make a new one to replace it.
Here we will tell you how to make an anvil in Minecraft. We will also explain the item briefly so you will know its functionality and limitations as well.
What Is an Anvil?
It is a block that enables players to do various things with their items. For example, renaming items, repairing items, and combining enchantments. Because of these, players should have anvil stocks in their inventory.
Functionality
A. When it comes to repairing items, anvils are similar to grindstones. You can repair a damaged item by combining two similar items.
Unlike the grindstone, however, the anvil does not remove the enchantment of a target item. It may even obtain new ones from the items used for the repairing
B. The anvil can rename not only items with durability but also any other items as well

C. Using the anvil, a player can repair an item using the materials used to make said item. For example, using diamonds to repair diamond items with durability, using iron ingots to repair iron items with durability and so on.
The rate of repair is 25% of the target item’s durability per material
Limitations
The most important limitation players should remember is that each time they use an anvil, it has a 12% chance of becoming damaged.
At first, the anvil will become chipped, after that, it will become damaged and finally, destroyed

A. Anvils can also be damaged and even destroyed from falling. If an anvil falls from a height that is bigger than a single block, the chance of it degrades by one stage is the number of blocks it has fallen multiplied by 5%. For example, if the anvil falls for 2 blocks, the chance of degrading is 10%
B. Although the anvil’s damage state doesn’t affect its function, the player can only save anvils that have the same damage state in their inventory
