How to Keep Items Stored Inside the Anvil Interface

In vanilla Minecraft, closing the anvil interface immediately ejects your items onto the ground, which can lead to item despawning or cluttered floors. Easy Anvils overhauls this behavior by keeping your gear safe inside the interface.

Retaining Items Across Sessions

When you place tools, armor, or enchanted books into the anvil's input slots, you can safely close the interface at any moment. Your items remain held inside the anvil slots rather than dropping at your feet. This is particularly useful when you place items in to inspect their repair or combination requirements and find that you do not yet have enough experience levels.

Resuming Work Safely

You can leave the anvil, venture out to gather additional experience or resources, and return later. Upon opening the anvil interface again, your items will still be sitting in the slots exactly where you left them. This eliminates the risk of dropping high-value gear into nearby hazards or losing track of items during multi-step enchanting tasks.
