How to repair items in Minecraft
You can repair items in Minecraft by Using the mcmmo anvil (an iron block) and right clicking it with the item you would like to repair in your hand. The higher the level, the more durability is restored. Every time you repair, it costs one of the material the item was made of (For example an iron chestplate would cost one iron ingot per click)
Arcane Forging 1-8
Arcane Forging is used to keep enchantments on items after repairing them, It starts at level 1 of the [Repair] skill. At a 10% success chance, this is the level in which Arcane Forging starts.
Each level afterwards adds a small % increase. such as at level 125 you gain a 10%, level 250 a 20%, at level 750 you get a 50%.cap
Along with this there is a chance for a downgrade on the enchantment:For example, a Power II Bow would become a Power I Bow.To turn off Downgrades simply change [true] to a [false].

Experience and Leveling
Experience Calculation
For each repair, the experience gained is the amount of durability restored multiplied by the value of the material in the chart below. All armor of a material type has the same multiplier.
Tools, however, have a multiplier based on amount of material components of the tool (1, 2, or 3 pieces). This is because all tools of the same material have the same durability, whereas armor durability scales with number of components.
Experience is only awarded for durability restored; any restoration beyond maximum is ignored, making repairing near-perfect items inefficient.
| Material | Skill Req. | XP multiplier per material (Armor) | Average XP per material (Armor)1 | XP multiplier per material (Tools)2 | Max XP per material (Tools)3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

- The average durability restored by one material is calculated as the durability of the full set of armor divided by the amount of materials required to fully repair the entire set. If repairing armor in full sets, each material used will provide this much experience on average.
- The 3 figures refer to tools requiring 3 materials (e.g. pickaxes), 2 materials (swords and hoes) and 1 material (shovel) to fully repair respectively.
- The amount of experience gained if the material is fully used up in repairing the tool.
Training
- For maximum exp efficiency per material used, boots provide the most exp per repair, due to armor durability being independent of number of materials required. After boots, the second most efficient things are tools, all providing more than any other armor, without counting in-game rounding errors.
- Use Diamonds to repair boots only after level 50 for highest xp gain in order to save expensive materials. Material xp gain: Diamond> Gold> Iron> Strings, Cobblestone, Wood
TIP: if you press the keys F3 + H, you can see the ID and durability of a tool, armor, or items by hovering over it in the inventory.
Cactus damages armor (best method for expensive material) Damage armor by standing next to a cactus and repair it when it reaches a low durability. Beacons with Resistance II and regen to reduce health problem when receiving damage.
