There are lots of tools available in Minecraft that can help you gather different resources such as a pickaxe and shovel and other than that you can also repair your weapons and armor as well. But the issue is that they start to lose their durability and eventually break when used continuously. So, making them again is a time-consuming task as you need to find and collect the required items again. Show
A better solution to solve this issue is to repair the damaged items which can be done easily. There are two main blocks available in the game that can do this job; one is the grindstone and the other one is the anvil which we are going to discuss in this article. Materials Required to Make a GrindstoneTo make a Grindstone you need to place 2 sticks, 1 stone slab, and 2 wooden slabs on a crafting table. How to Make SticksThe first item that you need to make is at least 1 wooden log either by punching trees or by using any pickaxe. Now 1 piece of the wooden log will give you 4 wooden planks and you need to place 2 of them again on a crafting table that will give you 4 sticks. How to Make a Stone SlabYou need to dig at least 3 cobblestones which you can easily find in the caves, seashore, and mountains. you can find them and then you need to place them on a furnace along with any fuel that will provide you with stones. If you don’t have the furnace before, then in that case you need to dig 8 more cobblestones as well which will be used to make it. You will get 6 stone slabs by using 3 blocks of stones in the furnace. How to Make Wooden PlanksYou will need 1 wooden log to make 4 planks as shown below. How to Make a Grindstone in MinecraftPlace them in a sequence mentioned below to make it. How to Use Grindstone to Repair ItemsYou can use this block for repairing purposes, For example, we have used 2 same shovels and when we place them in the grindstone, we will get the new shovel. You can also repair your weapon and armor as well using this block and all you need to do is to place the same type of item twice in the grindstone. Material Required to Make the AnvilTo make an anvil you require 3 blocks of iron and 4 iron ingots where one block of iron can be made using 9 iron ingots. This means that in total you need 31 iron ingots from which 27 will be used to make 3 blocks of iron. You can make 1 iron ingot by placing 1 iron ore on a furnace along with any fuel source such as coal or wooden logs. This also means that you need to first collect at least 31 pieces of iron ores as well to make the anvil. Now place at least 31 iron ores inside a furnace to make 31 iron ingots through the process of smelting. Now place 9 iron ingots on the crafting table to make 1 block of iron and repeat this process two more times to make 3 blocks of iron. After that place these 3 blocks of iron along with the remaining 4 blocks of the iron ingot to make an anvil as shown below. How to Use Anvil to Repair ItemsYou need to place 2 damaged items in an anvil as we did previously in the grindstone to repair the item. Comparison Between Grindstone and Anvil
Both blocks have unique features and now it’s up to you to decide which block you think is better than the other. ConclusionYou need different tools such as an axe or a shovel to gather resources in the Minecraft game. These items have a specific durability limit and eventually break when used continuously. So repairing them is one of the better solutions to solve this problem as making them again is a time-consuming task to do. You can repair such items by using either the grindstone or an anvil that we have discussed in this article.
There are two ways to repair items in Minecraft: with and without an Anvil. Repairing Items the Easy WayItems such as weapons, armour and tool can be repaired by placing two damaged items of the same type on a crafting grid: The two items will be combined to a single one with durability equal to the two plus a small bonus (so to get best value from the repair, both items should be used until they are below 45% durability. Any enchantments will be lost when repairing items this way. AnvilsAnvils allow you to rename items, repair enchanted items, and even combine the enchantments from different items, at the cost of experience points. ###Crafting You’ll need 3 blocks of iron, plus 4 more iron bars, for a total of 31 iron bars. ###Renaming items Now your enchanted sword can be called Excalibur if that’s what you want, or indeed you could call an apple "Derek" if that’s what takes your fancy. Place your item on the left and type the new name in the box. The experince cost will be displayed, and if you’re happy, take the renamed item from the right. ###Item repair Enchanted items can be repaired by placing either another item or the material from which they are made in the second slot.
An enchanted diamond axe can be repaired using either a diamond, or another diamond axe. ###Combining Enchantments Place two enchanted items of the same type on the left, and if possible their enchantments will be combined into a new item.
Two enchanted pickaxes can be combined to make an even better one - note that their durability is added so this is a repair job too.
###Using Enchanted Books Anvils are used to transfer an enchantment from an enchanted book to an item; place the item and the book in the slots - easy! Two enchanted books can be combined on an anvil to make a new book with both enchantments. ###Limitations The cost of repair depends on a number of factors, including how many times the item has been modified with the anvil. Operations that would cost more than 40 experience levels are not allowed. This means that you will only be able to repair your items a few times.
These two pickaxes have a lot of high-level enchantments each, and combining them would just be too awesome to be allowed. |
