Anvil Tiers
Anvil Progression
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
Anvils have durability just like in vanilla. This means that anvils will have to be remade/repaired as players are using the anvils to make alloys. This increases the effective material input of tools/weapons/armor without directly increasing the inputs in the crafting recipe's themselves.
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.
