No Anvil Limit
No Anvil Limit, a Fabric mod, removes the level 40 Too Expensive cap so that anvil combinations with heavily enchanted items can keep going.
What it does
Normally an anvil refuses a combination once the accumulated cost reaches level 40, which stops many enchantment or repair combinations in survival. With the cap removed, the anvil accepts the combination and charges its XP level cost instead, so a repair goes through regardless of how many prior operations the item has seen. The anvil cost is calculated on the server, which means the mod is only required where the world runs: on a dedicated server, or in a singleplayer or integrated server. Clients connecting to a modded server need it too.
The mod targets Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3 on Fabric and requires Fabric API. It is published as open source under the MIT License, with source code available. Files also exist for 1.21.8, so the mod covers the 1.21.8 – 26.3 range across three release versions.
Key features
Level 40 cap removed
Anvil combinations are no longer blocked by the Too Expensive limit at level 40.
Repairs without the limit
Heavily enchanted gear can be repaired on an anvil even after many earlier operations.
XP level cost
Each anvil operation still charges its XP level cost, so the cost remains a limit on progress.
Singleplayer and servers
Works in singleplayer, integrated servers and dedicated servers, with the cost calculated server-side.

A Fabric mod that removes the anvil's level 40 "Too Expensive!" cap, allowing unlimited enchantment combinations and repairs. Use anvils as normal — the level cap is simply gone, so any valid combine or repair goes through regardless of its XP level cost.
