What it does

Anvil Repair adds a crafting recipe that restores worn anvils: a player places the damaged block in a crafting table grid with iron ingots and takes back a restored anvil. The changes apply to the recipes themselves, so no command or extra block is involved.

The mod also reworks several recycling and cutting recipes: Copper Cutting, Better Copper Recycling, Better Gold Recycling and Cheaper Clocks. Each one changes an existing vanilla recipe rather than introducing new items. The server must run it, while players may join without it, and clients may also install it without any extra setup.

Installation targets Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and it is also available as a data pack. Files cover 1.21.9 – 26.3, with 1.1+mod for 26.3 as the latest build, released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, so the code is not open source.

Key features
