The order you combine items on an anvil in Minecraft is critical. Every combination increases a hidden 'work penalty,' making future enchantments more expensive. Eventually, the cost becomes so high the anvil will refuse to work, displaying 'Too Expensive!'. This tool calculates the most efficient sequence of combinations to keep the total cost as low as possible.
For optimal results, this tool assumes you are starting with fresh items and books that have never been worked on an anvil before. To achieve the most powerful gear, it's best to acquire max-level enchanted books (e.g., from villager trading) rather than combining lower-level books yourself.
