AnvilRenameFix
by Ndwasc
On a server running AnvilRenameFix, renaming an item at an anvil no longer costs the extra experience levels that vanilla charges.
What it does
AnvilRenameFix is a server-side Fabric mod by Ndwasc that removes the extra experience cost of renaming items at an anvil. When the second slot of the anvil is empty and only the name changes, the level cost is set to 0 instead of the vanilla charge of at least 1 level. Material costs and enchantment pricing still apply as normal, so repairs and combinations are priced by the usual rules.
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything and vanilla clients connect to such a server without changes. Installation means placing the file in the server mods folder and restarting the server. Fabric Loader and Fabric API must be present on the server, and the mod must be installed on a dedicated server only. The config file and commands apply the change automatically once the server is running.
The mod is published for Fabric only, across 12 release versions 1.21 – 1.21.11, with the 1.2 file for 1.21.11 as the latest build. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Rename without XP cost
Renaming at the anvil charges no experience levels, while the vanilla minimum of one level is removed.
Costs otherwise unchanged
Material costs and enchantment pricing keep their vanilla values, so only the rename charge is affected.
Enchantment repairs kept
Repairing enchanted items at an anvil still follows the normal cost rules, with no change to enchantments.
Config and commands
A config file and server commands control the behaviour, and changes apply without rebuilding the server.

Use cases
Survival servers with shared anvils
Server owners who want players to rename gear without a level cost can install the mod on the server alone.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want anvil renames to be free of experience cost while leaving other anvil prices unchanged. Players on such a server need no installation.
