Minecraft Enchantment Adviser & Optimal Anvil Order Calculator

A fast, lightweight web tool to calculate the optimal anvil order for enchanting items in Minecraft: Java Edition. Minimize your experience (XP) cost by finding the cheapest sequence of combinations for your gear.

✨ Features

• Optimal XP Cost: Finds the cheapest enchantment order to save you valuable experience levels.
• Step-by-Step Guide: Generates a clear, numbered list of anvil combinations to follow.
• Full Game Support: Includes a comprehensive database of items, enchantments, and their specific costs for Minecraft: Java Edition.
• Conflict Resolution: Automatically handles and prevents incompatible enchantments (e.g., Mending vs. Infinity, Sharpness vs. Smite).
• "Too Expensive" Alerts: Warns you if any step in the process would cost 40+ levels in survival mode.
• Version Selection: Lets you switch between modern (1.20+) and legacy anvil mechanics.
• Shareable Links: Creates a custom URL for your specific build, making it easy to share your enchantment plans.
• Modern UI: Responsive design with automatic light/dark mode and local storage to save your selections.

🚀 How to Use

1. Open index.html in any web browser.
2. Select the item you want to enchant (e.g., Diamond Sword).
3. Check the boxes for your desired enchantments and set their levels.
4. Click "Calculate Optimal Order".
5. Follow the generated step-by-step results to build your perfect item for the lowest XP cost.

🛠️ How It Works

The calculator uses a recursive algorithm with memoization (dynamic programming) to efficiently explore all possible combination sequences. It accurately models the official Minecraft: Java Edition anvil mechanics, including:

• Prior Work Penalty: The increasing cost of working on an item multiple times.
• Enchantment Costs: The specific XP cost multiplier for each enchantment.
• Combining Rules: The logic for merging and upgrading enchantments.

By evaluating every path, it guarantees the true optimal solution with the lowest total XP cost.
