How to Make an Anvil in Minecraft

Minecraft has been taking the game world by storm for the past few years. This sandbox easily obtains great popularity since it allows its players to create a world by relying on their creativity.

The players are the ones who decide how the game starts, runs, and ends. They can also create many items, such as an anvil.

An anvil can be expensive for players with fresh worlds in Minecraft. However, it becomes necessary when you need to upgrade your weapons, tools, and armor in order to obtain the best enchantments.

Anvils are some of the only blocks, such as dragons’ eggs, gravel, and sand that are affected by gravity. This means that anvils fall through the air until there are any solid blocks under them.

Falling anvils can be very dangerous for players. They can hurt players if they hit them. When they fall from a 40 blocks height, anvils can cause up to 20 hearts of damage.

This only means that you can use anvils as a projectile. So, are you curious about how to make an anvil in Minecraft?

How You Craft an Anvil Survival Mode

Just like any other processes of making a new item, you have to prepare the required materials first. In order to make an anvil, the materials you need are 4 iron ingots and 3 blocks of iron. Once you have collected them, follow these steps below to make an anvil.

Open the Crafting Area

Go to the crafting menu to open a crafting area. There, you will see a crafting area consisting of a 3×3 grid. This is where you will place the materials to make an anvil.

Place the Materials in the Crafting Area

Now, add the materials you have collected to the crafting table. In the first row, fill all of the 3 boxes with iron blocks. In the second row, place an iron ingot in the second box so that it is in the middle of the row. In the third box, put 3 blocks of iron in the boxes, one iron block for each box.

Make sure you correctly follow the order mentioned above. If you place the materials in a wrong order, the anvil will not appear. The anvil should appear in the box on the right side of the crafting grid if you correctly follow the order.

Move the New Item to Your Inventory

Remember to move the anvil you just created to your inventory. Congratulations! You have successfully crafted an anvil.

What You Can Make with an Anvil

You can use anvil for purposes. For instance, it is currently the only way that you can use to combine. You can also use it to combine enchanted weapons for durability, convert enchantments from several weapons into a single overpowered tool, name things, and keep your materials up to scratch by keeping their durability as high as possible.

Can You Repair an Anvil?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. You cannot repair an anvil. Anvils can get damaged over time because of excessive use or falling.

So, it will be better if you always have the recipe to craft an anvil on your hand since you perhaps need to make a new one because you have damaged the old one.

Those are the steps to make an anvil in the survival mode of Minecraft. Though this item is pricey to make, it is totally worth it.

An anvil is a great item if you want to upgrade your weapons or tools. You should frequently use it if you want to get the best armors and weapons.
