Craft an Anvil in Minecraft
Anvils can be used to repair tools, weapons and armor, or to enchant and name items. They are crafted using 3 blocks of iron and 4 iron ingots, or 31 iron ingots total.
Steps
- Gather your materials.
- You need 31 iron ingots or 3 iron blocks
- If you have 3 iron blocks already, skip the next step
- Create 3 iron blocks. These are created by opening a crafting table and placing an iron ingot in every space (9 total).
- Craft an anvil.
- Put your 3 iron blocks in the top three spaces of a crafting table.
- Put 1 iron ingot in the center space.
- Put 3 iron ingots in the bottom three spaces.
- Drag your new anvil to your inventory.
Tips
- Anvils fall like sand or gravel, but are very heavy and can hurt or kill a player or monsters.
- Anvils can become damaged and break, so use them carefully unless you have a lot of iron to spare.
