Description

Ever wondered why your favorite netherite sword suddenly hits you with the dreaded "Too Expensive!" message at the anvil? Minecraft hides a secret mechanics called "Repair Cost" (Anvil Penalty) that doubles every time you modify an item.

Anvil Cost Tooltip is a lightweight, client-side mod that completely demystifies anvil mechanics by revealing hidden penalties, usage history, and smart cost forecasts directly inside item tooltips!

Key Features

  •  Hidden Penalty Tracker: Instantly view the invisible anvil tax (RepairCost) on any weapon, tool, armor piece, or book.

  • Dynamic Pre-Craft Forecast: Hover over an Enchanted Book while holding a tool in your main hand to see their combined combination cost before you even touch an anvil!

  • Anvil Uses Counter: Shows exactly how many times an item has already been modified , calculated using precise anvil math.

  • Next Repair Prediction: Displays what the penalty will become after your next craft, warning you if the next repair will permanently lock the item.

  •  Color-Coded Threat Levels: Tooltip text automatically shifts from safe Gold to alarming Red as you approach the 39-level limit, maxing out at a clear "Too Expensive!" alert.

 Technical Details

  • 100% Client-Side: This mod only alters how tooltips are rendered on your screen. You can install it on your client and join any vanilla or modded server—it works everywhere without needing server-side installation!

  • Vanilla+ Design: Clean, compact text lines that look like a natural extension of the base game without cluttering your screen.

  • Modpack Friendly: Perfectly fits into any Quality of Life (QoL), Vanilla+, or Hardcore RPG modpack.
