NOT Too Expensive Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I reset an item's anvil cost?
Drop the item on the ground and pick it up again. This resets its internal anvil cost counter, allowing you to perform operations that would normally be blocked by the "Too expensive!" message.
Do I need to do anything special to activate the mod?
No, the mod works automatically once installed. Just use your anvil normally—when you get a "Too expensive!" warning, drop and pick up the item to reset its cost and try again.
Can I combine multiple enchantments on one item without hitting the cost limit?
Yes. After each enchantment combination that triggers "Too expensive!", drop the item and pick it up to reset the cost, then continue combining enchantments.
Does this mod work on tools and weapons?
Yes, it works on any item that can be used in an anvil, including heavily damaged tools and weapons that would normally become too expensive to repair.
Will dropping and picking up the item cause me to lose it?
No, dropping an item on the ground is safe in Survival mode. It will stay where you dropped it until you pick it up again.
Can I rename items without cost restrictions using this mod?
Yes, the mod removes the cost limit for all anvil operations, including renaming. Drop and pick up the item if you hit the "Too expensive!" message.
Does this mod affect Creative mode?
The mod is designed for Survival mode where the anvil cost limit matters. In Creative mode, anvil costs are already unrestricted.
What happens if I don't drop the item after getting the warning?
The anvil will continue to block the operation. You must drop the item and pick it up again to reset its cost before the anvil will allow the operation.
Does this mod work with other mods that add custom enchantments?
Yes, the mod works with any item that uses the standard anvil system, including those from other mods.
Can I use this trick multiple times on the same item?
Yes, you can repeat the drop-and-pickup process as many times as needed to perform multiple expensive anvil operations on a single item.
