Mendable Anvils
With Mendable Anvils, a damaged anvil can be repaired by shift-right-clicking it while holding iron ingots, which fixes the anvil item itself.
What it does
Mendable Anvils lets players repair anvils, a task that vanilla does not allow in this way. Which items count as repair material is defined by a tag, so server owners can change the list through a data pack. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 22 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.2. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
