How do I repair a bow?

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

Question

Can anvils restore items to full health?

Community Answer

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.

Question

I tried this in 1.12.12 and it didn't work. Did I do something wrong?

Community Answer

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.

Question

How do I make an end portal?

Community Answer

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.

Question

How do you name something with an an anvil?

lynn m

Community Answer

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.

Question

How to enchant a bow with an anvil?

Vortrexion

Top Answerer

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.

Question

How do you craft an observer in Minecraft?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

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.
