📖 About:

Easy Anvils makes working with anvils much more enjoyable. Not only do items stay inside the interface after closing, also some annoying restrictions are removed. Also name tags can be renamed without even using an anvil.

📚 Contents:

First of all, anvils now have an Inventory for storing the items you put inside. This also means items will stay in the anvil after you close the interface. To put this functionality to good use, anvil contents will now Render as laying on top of the anvil.

Anvils no longer use the prior work penalty tag, so no matter how often you repair an item or add new enchantments to it, Costs Won't Needlessly Increase. You can also fully Configure The Max Level Limit, which controls when the Too Expensive! flag shows up.

Anvils can now be Repaired by one stage using iron blocks. You can also use a dispenser to automate repairing.

Name tags have quite a few nice changes: Not only is setting a name in an anvil Completely Free and doesn't risk damaging your precious anvil, you don't even need an anvil at all anymore to change a name tag's name. Simply shift + right-click a name tag to Open A Simple Interface for setting a new name.

Text Can Be Stylized using Minecraft's native formatting codes in both the anvil and name tag interface. This allows for setting custom colors and styles when choosing item and entity names. Check the Minecraft Wiki for more information on formatting codes.

💡 FAQ:

Q: I want enchanting tables to keep and render their contents as well!
A: Sure thing, check out my Easy Magic mod which does just that and more.

Q: Where can I download this mod for Forge on versions of Minecraft before 1.17?
A: Check out the mods which inspired this project: Anvil Tweaks, Anvil Repair, and Nametags Without Anvils by tfarecnim.

Q: How do I configure this mod?
A: Mods can have three different kinds of configs depending on the kind of settings they provide: Client, Common, and Server.

Client and Common configs are found in /.minecraft/config/, named as <modId>-client.toml and <modId>-common.toml, respectively.

Server configs though are applied per world, therefore you'll find those in /.minecraft/saves/<world>/serverconfig/<modId>-server.toml for local singeplayer worlds, and in /<world>/serverconfig/<modId>-server.toml for you Minecraft server. Changes made to a server config only apply to that one world. Setting default values in server configs for all newly created worlds is possible by copying the modified server config to /.minecraft/defaultconfigs/.

In a local singleplayer world you can quickly find config files by running the /config showfile <modid> command and by choosing CLIENT, COMMON or SERVER. Then click the file name (ending with .toml) that appears in chat to open the file in a text editor. After saving the file, the config will automatically reload in-game after a couple of seconds, so no game restart required.

On some mod loaders editing configs is also supported in-game via the Mods menu option. On some Minecraft versions you can also install my Config Menus for Forge mod for editing configs directly in-game.
