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.
