Cereal Copper Anvil
Cereal Copper Anvil brings copper-tinted anvils into Minecraft, which weather with time, can be sealed with wax to halt that process, and can be scraped back down to bare copper.
What it does
Copper anvils come in 96 variants across four series, copper block, chiseled copper, copper grate and cut copper, each in four oxidation stages from bright copper to a weathered green. Over time, anvils left unwaxed take on oxidation, but a player can halt it by crouching and right-clicking with honeycomb to seal the block, or undo it by crouching and right-clicking with an axe to strip the oxide away. The anvils keep the full vanilla anvil behavior, so repairs, tool and equipment work, and enchanted book combining all function as they do with the standard anvil. Anvils can also crack and break with use, the same as vanilla anvils.
The mod is published for NeoForge on 26.2 only, with the latest file, 26.2-0.1.4, dated 2026-08-09. It is a client and server mod, so both the server and every player need it. Its copper textures reuse the vanilla copper textures, which keeps resource packs working. Cereal Copper Anvil requires Cereal Anvil Lib, which installs automatically. The source code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and the project has a public issue tracker and wiki.
Key features
Oxidation stages
Unwaxed copper anvils move through exposed, weathered and oxidized stages over time, each with its own look.
Waxing with honeycomb
Sneaking and right-clicking an anvil with honeycomb waxes it, which stops further oxidation.
Scraping oxide off
Sneaking and right-clicking with an axe scrapes away the oxide layer, and an axe also removes wax.
Vanilla anvil behavior
Repairing tools and equipment and combining enchanted books work the same way as on the vanilla anvil.
Natural wear
Anvils can crack and break with use, following the standard anvil damage rules.
