⚒️ BetterAnvil BetterAnvil is a lightweight, modern utility plugin for Paper and Spigot servers that fixes the most frustrating parts of the vanilla Minecraft anvil system. No more "Too Expensive!" errors—just pure gear progression.
✨ Key Features Remove "Too Expensive!": Increases the vanilla repair limit from 40 levels up to a customizable 500 levels.
Infinite Repairs: Automatically resets the "Prior Work Penalty." This stops repair costs from doubling every time you use the anvil, allowing you to keep your favorite gear forever.
In-Game Management: Fully controllable via commands without needing to restart your server.
Modern API: Built using the latest Paper 1.21.x API for maximum performance and compatibility.
⌨️ Admin Commands Manage the plugin in real-time with built-in tab suggestions:
/ba on - Enables the plugin features globally.
/ba off - Disables the plugin (reverts to vanilla anvil behavior).
/ba lv <number> - Sets the maximum allowed XP level cost (Max: 500).
/ba - Displays the help menu with all available commands.
🔧 Installation & Permissions Drop the .jar file into your /plugins folder.
Restart your server.
