How to make a Very Damaged Anvil in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a very damaged anvil with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
Although you can craft an anvil in Minecraft, there is not a crafting recipe for a very damaged anvil. In Survival mode, a very damaged anvil is created by repeatedly using an anvil until it degrades and becomes a very damaged anvil. In Creative mode, a very damaged anvil is available through the Creative Inventory menu.
In Minecraft, anvils (including very damaged anvils) can be used to enchant, repair or name items in the game.
