A deprecated anvil, named anvil in-game, is an unused variant of the anvil, obtainable only through commands. It looks similar to an undamaged anvil, but the top face uses the side texture instead of the dedicated top texture.

Obtaining

This block is not normally obtainable, and commands are therefore required; e.g. /give @s anvil 1 12

Breaking

A deprecated anvil can be mined using any pickaxe, dropping itself. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Usage

A comparison between a regular anvil (left) and a deprecated anvil (right)
Main article: Anvil § Usage

A deprecated anvil functions identically to a regular anvil. After one use, it turns into an undamaged anvil; when taking damage from falling, it turns into a chipped anvil instead.
