Troubleshoot When Anvil Upgrades Still Fail
Why Upgrades Might Still Not Work
Even with the Anvil Too Expensive Mod installed, your upgrades may fail. This happens because the mod only removes the warning text—it doesn't change the underlying game rules.
Check Your Server Configuration
1. Ask your server administrator if they've enabled unlimited anvil upgrades
2. Confirm the server isn't running vanilla Minecraft rules that cap upgrades
3. Verify the mod is actually installed and loaded on the server (not just your client)
Single-Player Troubleshooting
In single-player survival:
- The vanilla upgrade limit still applies even with this mod
- You won't see the "Too Expensive" message, but upgrades will still fail after the limit
- Consider using additional mods designed to remove anvil caps if you want true unlimited upgrades
What the Mod Actually Does
Remember: this mod removes only the visual warning. If upgrades aren't working, the issue is your world or server settings, not the mod itself. The mod is working correctly if you no longer see the rejection message—whether the upgrade succeeds is a separate matter.
