Q&A for How to Craft an Anvil in Minecraft

You can get specific enchantments in Minecraft using an anvil, but it depends on how you acquire the enchantments. Enchanted books allow you to target specific enchantments for your items rather than relying on the randomness of the enchantment table. For example, when you get enchanted books through librarian villagers, fishing, looting chests, or using an enchantment table. Some enchantments can only be applied to items using enchanted books and not directly from an enchantment table, like mending. When you combine an enchanted book with an item on an anvil, you can choose exactly which enchantment from the book gets added to the item. You can also stack enchantments onto an already-enchanted item, but they have to be compatible. This makes anvils very useful in customizing your gear with the ability you need. Remember, though, that using an anvil costs some experience levels, and using the same item on the anvil can be expensive to repair or upgrade further.

You will need two bows. If they have low durability, they will combine to make a bow with higher durability.

You may fix a broken diamond sword using another diamond sword or a diamond. If it was with an iron sword, you may use another iron sword or an iron ingot.

Mine 14 obsidian blocks and make a 4 block wide, 5 block tall hollow rectangle. Then, ignite the portal with flint and steel.

Yes. Add your broken object into one anvil slot. Then add a duplicate object (most effective when already broken) into the other open slot of the anvil. To the far left, the fixed object should appear.

Just craft a diamond pick axe with three diamonds and two sticks, and then mine it.

You can't, the only way to retrieve iron armor is to either find it in a generated chest or build it.

Yes. Simply place both items in the anvil. In the far right spot will be the enchanted sword with enchantments from the book.

No, that is not possible.

Keep trying the recipe. If it still doesn't work, try 1.14.14. If it still doesn't work, go back in creative and get one; it doesn't count as cheating if it doesn't work.

End portal frames have to be a 4 by 4 without the corners. Then put eye of enders in the portal frame, and that should ignite the portal. For the last step, hop into the portal! Also, it all works better in the ground.

Put the item you want to name in left box, then at the top you will see the name of the item you put in (eg. "Diamond Sword.") Next, remove "Diamond Sword", and change it to whatever you'd like. Keep in mind this does take experience away from you.

Enchanting, really. It requires experience points which requires some work to get the right amount of levels.

Diamonds can be found in deep caves, usually near lava, so try looking there.

To enchant your bow, simply add you bow to the first slot, and your desired enchanted book/bow in the next slot. The third slot will give you your bow with the enchantment on it, and you will be able to take it as long as you have the required amount of xp to do so.

To craft an observer you need 2 pieces of redstone, 1 piece of nether quartz, and 6 cobblestone. You need to put 3 pieces of cobblestone across the top and bottom row of a crafting table, then put the 2 pieces of redstone in the middle row starting from the left side. Finally, you need to put the nether quartz on the right of the middle row, and this will make an observer.
