About this Mod
Info
Ever wanted to put an anvil on a stick? Well now you can! It works like a mace but it cannot be enchanted and has 300 durability (200 less than a mace).
There are 3 crafting recipes for it, any of the 3 types of anvil on top of a stick. It can be repaired with Iron Blocks in an anvil.
Whenever the weapon goes below 1/3 of its durability, it changes to a chipped anvil item model. Same thing happens at 2/3s durability where it changes to a damaged anvil.
