How it works

The Runic Anvil wakes a real anvil into a forge for Runic gear. Right-click the anvil at its heart. The pattern burns away and the anvil alone remains. The rune drinks itself into the anvil — the forge stands ready.

From then on, right-click the anvil while holding gear:

• Forging turns an eligible tool, weapon, or piece of armor into Runic gear, ready to carry rune magic. The fires roar and the metal drinks the rune — your Iron Pickaxe is forged.
• Mending makes damaged Runic gear whole. The anvil rings and your Iron Pickaxe is made whole.

Hard use wears even magic: each successful use has a chance to chip the anvil, and an anvil that breaks ends the forge. The anvil stays bound if it falls.

See The Runic Anvil for which gear can be forged.

awakened	The rune drinks itself into the anvil — the forge stands ready.
empty-hand	Hold a tool, weapon or piece of armor to forge or repair.
wrong-tier	{hint}
wrong-armor	The anvil refuses this armor — only elytra, turtle shells, and gold, iron, chainmail, copper, or wolf armor take the forging.
forged	The fires roar and the metal drinks the rune — your {item} is forged.
undamaged	Your {item} needs no repair.
repaired	The anvil rings and your {item} is made whole.
anvil-damaged	The anvil groans and chips under the work.
anvil-broke	The anvil shatters — the forge is spent.
unforged	The magic slides off unworked metal — forge your {item} at a Runic Anvil first.
