No XP Anvils Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything to enable the mod or does it work automatically?
The mod works automatically once installed—anvils will have no XP cost from the moment you load your world. There are no configuration steps or commands needed to get started.
Can I still repair tools with materials instead of using an anvil?
Yes, this mod only removes the XP cost from anvils; it doesn't affect crafting recipes or grindstones. You can still repair tools using a crafting table, grindstone, or anvil—whichever method you prefer.
What happens if I combine two enchanted items on an anvil?
Combining enchanted items works the same as normal—you'll transfer enchantments from one item to another—but you won't pay any XP levels for the operation. If enchantments conflict, the anvil will still follow standard Minecraft rules about which one takes priority.
Does this mod affect enchanting tables or only anvils?
This mod only affects anvils. Enchanting tables, loot tables, and other XP mechanics remain unchanged.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, this mod can be installed on servers and clients. All players will experience the no-XP-cost anvil feature when the mod is active on the server.
Will renaming items still work, and does it cost XP?
Renaming items on an anvil works normally, but with zero XP cost. You can rename as many items as you want without losing experience levels.
Does the mod work with modded tools and enchantments?
Yes, the mod removes XP costs for any anvil operation, including those involving tools and enchantments from other mods.
What if I want XP costs back—can I disable the mod for specific anvils?
This mod applies globally to all anvils in your world. To restore XP costs, you would need to uninstall the mod; there is no per-anvil toggle.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
No, this mod is lightweight and only removes a cost calculation—it does not add new blocks, entities, or complex logic that would impact performance.
Can I combine this mod with other mods that change anvil behavior?
Compatibility depends on how other mods modify anvils; check the mod's documentation or community forums for known conflicts, but most anvil-related mods work together without issues.
