Anvils made out of iron or meteoric iron can not be cast like anvils out of other metals. The player first has to make the upper and lower part of the anvil separately, smithing them on a bronze anvil. Then, the two parts need to be welded together. | Anvils made out of iron or meteoric iron can not be cast like anvils out of other metals.

====Anvil Base==== | |||
Start the crafting process by placing a heated iron ingot on the anvil - bronze or higher anvil tier is needed. Select the anvil base and start hammering. Note that for the base, a total of 5 ingots need to be added, and there is at maximum 14 pixels worth room for error. This process might be easier when starting with one iron plate as the base, and then adding 3 more ingots, one at a time.<br> | |||
To lessen the chance of wasting pixels - and thus ingots - it is necessary to add one ingot, flatten it out and only then add the next - and so forth. The space on which the next anvil will be added is always the same, and the player can make sure that this space is flat and below the maximum height limit of the recipe, which is 6 pixels, or 3 ingots stacked. Keep in mind that a new ingot added will only fill in the empty pixels in that specific space, so it is recommended to keep the ingot place as flat as possible. The ingot will however rise with the rest, meaning it will be added ''on top'' of the current surface.<br><br> | |||
An optimum way of smithing can be seen below, with the focus on keeping the "ingot landing space" as empty and flat as possible. However, keep in mind that this is the best way to save iron ingots, not the best way to save coal. | |||

|Elevating the anvil on which the player crafts the new anvil parts might help checking for missing or misplaced pixels. Try putting the anvil on eye level, or digging a trench around it - this allows you to check the work item from the side. Pressing G to sit down has a similar effect. | |||

The anvil base needs a total of 196 pixels, divided into five layers: | |||
*80 first layer | |||
*38 each for second and third layer | |||
*20 each for fourth and fifth layer | |||
====Anvil Top==== | |||
For the anvil top, follow the same process. However, keep in mind that for the top part, even with careful smithing, not even one pixel will be wasted. This means there is no margin for error, and any wasted pixels will result in a sixth ingot added to finish the item. As the top part is rather slim, a plate is not helpful as the smithing base.<br> | |||

The anvil top needs a total of 210 pixels, divided into five layers: | |||
*78 first layer | |||

*40 third layer | |||
*24 fourth layer | |||
*20 fifth layer | |||
====Welding==== | |||
After both the base and top are finished, heat both of them up in a forge. Once heated, first place the base part down on the ground. Take one portion of powdered borax and apply with a {{SneakClick}} on the placed base, then add the top part. Hammer until both parts are welded together, this should take about 12 hits. | After both the base and top are finished, heat both of them up in a forge.
