Is chipped anvil bad?

A chipped anvil isn't inherently "bad," especially for beginners or older, well-used tools, as minor edge chips are common and can often be ground smooth; however, severe chipping, deep cracks, a narrowed face, or separation between the face and body indicates significant damage that can affect performance and might require professional repair or replacement. Minor edge chips are normal wear and can be radiused (smoothed) with a grinder to prevent cold shuts on workpieces, but large chunks missing from the face, a swaybacked surface (dished), or separation from the base (like in "barnyard" anvils) makes it less ideal, though still usable for basic tasks.

Is 30 bookshelves better than 15?

In the context of Minecraft enchanting, 15 bookshelves are sufficient for maximum level 30 enchantments, making 30 bookshelves no better for enchantment power, but more books (if they're actually in the shelves) can offer more choices, though the power cap remains at 15 shelves for level 30.

Why won't my anvil let me enchant?
