1 · Choose gear

2 · Presets

3 · Version and item state

Use 0 for a fresh item. Higher prior work means the item was already combined, repaired, or renamed in an anvil and may hit Too Expensive sooner.

4 · Pick enchantments

1. #1 Book A (Sharpness V) + Book C (Mending I) → Book 5 (Mending I, Sharpness V)

   4 levels

   Combine the two books first to keep prior work balanced before applying them to the Sword. Prior work: 0 + 0 → 1.

2. #2 Book D (Looting III) + Book B (Unbreaking III) → Book 6 (Looting III, Unbreaking III)

   6 levels

   Combine the two books first to keep prior work balanced before applying them to the Sword. Prior work: 0 + 0 → 1.

3. #3 Book 6 + Book 5 → Book 7 (Looting III, Mending I, Sharpness V, Unbreaking III)

   11 levels

   Combine the two books first to keep prior work balanced before applying them to the Sword. Prior work: 1 + 1 → 2.

4. #4 Netherite Sword + Book 7 → Final Netherite Sword

   30 levels

   Apply the prepared book to the Sword as the final anvil operation. Prior work: 0 + 2 → 3.

Formula scope

The solver uses Java-style prior work penalty growth (2^work - 1), enchantment cost multipliers, book merging, and conflict rules. Exact in-game costs can still vary for repaired, renamed, damaged, or version-specific items, so fresh books and a fresh target item are safest.
