Anvil Too Expensive Fix

by Eposs

Anvil Too Expensive Fix stops the anvil cost cap from blocking repairs and combinations on Fabric servers.

FabricServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.3

What it does

Repairing or combining items on an anvil can fail with a Too Expensive message once the accumulated cost gets high. This Fabric mod removes that barrier, so an anvil keeps working on items that would otherwise be locked. Players can still repair items they could not before, and the vanilla cost values are otherwise left alone. It requires Fabric API, and the server is the side that needs the mod. Clients may install it, but the fix applies on the server, so players without it still get the repaired item. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.21 – 26.3, and the latest build is 1.1.0+26.X for 26.3, released under the MIT License. The source code is open source.

Key features

  1. Removes the cost cap

    Items that show the Too Expensive message on a vanilla anvil can still be combined or repaired.

  2. Repairs stay possible

    Combining items on an anvil keeps working after the cost would normally block the action.

  3. Fabric API dependency

    Fabric API must be installed next to the mod on the server for it to load.

Questions

Does Anvil Too Expensive Fix need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it has to be installed alongside the mod.

Does a player need the mod to repair an item?

No. The server applies the fix, so a player without the mod still gets the repaired item.

What the author says

This Fabric Mod allows you to combine items in the anvil without having to worry about them becoming "Too Expensive". Its technically only requrired on the server, but recommended to have it on both the server and the client.
