Cheaper Anvil — 1-Level Cost

Cheaper Anvil

Anvil work is insanely expensive. Cheaper Anvil makes using an anvil more comfortable without breaking the XP system.

• No more "Too Expensive!" — removes the accumulated prior work penalty from items.
• Every successful anvil action costs 1 XP level (rename, repair, combine, apply enchanted books, etc.)

Note: You still need to have enough XP levels to perform the operation (usually a few levels). However, the net cost will still be 1 level.

Works in singleplayer and multiplayer (no client install needed).
