So heres the problem.
I need to repair my enchanted pickaxe, and it is renamed too. This makes me tryint to repair it via another unenchanted pickaxe impossible (its too expensive)
If i reset my name to default, will that make the cost of repairing my pickaxe much cheaper?
Best Answer
No.
The way the repair costs work is that every time you use the item in an anvil the prior work penalty (stored in the
RepairCost
data tag) is increased depending on the currentRepairCost
values of both items.Renaming an item does not change the prior work penalty.
Once an item gets too expensive to repair, there is nothing you can do but make a new one. The Mending enchantment allows you to repair items with XP rather than the anvil, allowing you to keep the item indefinitely.
