Anvil Tiers

Anvil Progression

Crafting Copper in an Anvil

Anvils are now required to progress through the different items tiers. The first tier of anvil that can be crafted is the copper anvil, which can create bronze ingots and iron-plated armor.

Copper anvils can be upgraded into the second tier, iron anvils, which can be used to create steel ingots. Iron anvils can be upgraded into the third tier, diamond anvils, which can then be used to enchant items by combining them with their material components.

Anvil Durability

While there are now multiple types of anvil, they will still require upkeep like the anvils you're used to. When using an upgraded anvil, there is a 1/8 chance that it will be damaged and be downgraded a tier. This is for every use, not every item so make sure you craft in bulk !

Alloy Smithing

Much of the equipment progression requires the combination of different materials in an anvil.
Copper can be combined with quartz to make bronze ingots in any anvil.
Bundles of iron, crafted from four iron ingots, can be combined with coal blocks to make steel ingots in an iron anvil.

Enchanting

Enchanting is no longer randomised. Instead there is one specific enchantment per type of equipment. For example, combining an iron sword with an iron ingot gives the iron sword sharpness I. Enchanted items can still be combined to achieve higher levels of an enchantment using the anvil as normal.
