Anvils are essential for item repair. Crafting one requires 4 iron ingots and 3 iron blocks (31 ingots total). Remember to smelt the iron ore first using a furnace or blast furnace. Use the following crafting recipe:

Anvil Functionality
The anvil's crafting menu has three slots; you'll use two. Place two identical, low-durability tools to create a new, fully repaired one.

Repairing consumes experience points; higher durability restoration costs more. Note that some items, including enchanted ones, have specific repair requirements.
Repairing Enchanted Items
Repairing enchanted items is similar to repairing regular items, but it requires more experience points and higher-level enchanted items or enchanted books.
Placing two enchanted items combines their properties (including durability) into a single, higher-level item. The outcome isn't guaranteed and the cost varies depending on item placement – experiment!

You can also use an enchanted book in place of a second enchanted item for repair and upgrading.
Anvil Limitations
Anvils have durability and will eventually break. They cannot repair scrolls, books, bows, chainmail, and various other items.
Repairing Items Without an Anvil
Minecraft's versatility extends to item repair. A crafting table or grindstone can be used as alternatives.

Combine identical items in the crafting table interface to increase durability. This is a convenient alternative to carrying an anvil, especially during travel.
