How to Make Anvil in Minecraft

Craft an Anvil from 3 Blocks of Iron and 4 Iron Ingots — 31 iron ingots in total. Use it to rename items, combine enchantments, and repair gear.

You'll need

  • 3× Block of Iron
  • 4× Iron Ingot

Station / tools

  • Crafting Table

Yields: 1 Anvil

Step by step

  1. 1

    Make 3 Iron Blocks

    Each Iron Block is 9 Iron Ingots, so 3 blocks plus 4 loose ingots is 31 ingots total.

  2. 2

    Arrange the recipe

    Top row: 3 Iron Blocks. Middle: a single Iron Ingot in the center. Bottom row: 3 Iron Ingots.

Tips

  • Anvils combine enchanted books and items, and repair gear with their base material — both keep enchantments.
  • Each use has a chance to chip the anvil; a damaged anvil still works until it's fully destroyed.
