How to make a Slightly Damaged Anvil in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a slightly 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 slightly damaged anvil. In Survival mode, a slightly damaged anvil is created by repeatedly using an anvil until it degrades and becomes a slightly damaged anvil. In Creative mode, a slightly damaged anvil is available through the Creative Inventory menu.

In Minecraft, anvils (including slightly damaged anvils) can be used to enchant, repair or name items in the game.
