Fixed Anvils

Fixed Anvils ignores the prior-use penalty that normally raises the experience cost of each anvil job. Instead, the cost of an enchanting job is derived from the total enchantment levels on the result. Renaming an item costs 1 experience level, and repairing costs 1 experience level per material used. Other small tweaks are included in the same update.

The mod removes the level cap on anvil work and, in version 1.0.1, dropped the ability to combine items such as books and materials at the anvil. The sword examples in the author notes show the intended balance: Sharpness V costs 5 experience levels, Unbreaking III costs 3, Looting III costs 6 and Mending costs 2, against costs of 13 and 9 in vanilla when the maximum-level book is applied once. The author intends it to be paired with a mod that lowers the enchantment table's maximum level, which encourages exploring for high-level books.

Fixed Anvils runs on the server alone. Players join without installing it, and the mod is published for Fabric only, with the latest file 1.0.1 for 1.21.11. The code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
