 Description   

The Bug

Putting two undamaged items of the same kind into an anvil and changing the name, will allow taking out the combined item however, the second item is consumed without any benefit. This is not possible without renaming.

How to reproduce

  1. Place an anvil
  2. Get two new helmets of the same type (or any other two items that can combine this way)
  3. Open the anvil and put both helmets in
  4. Type something else in the rename field
  5. Take out the renamed item
    Notice the second helmet is now gone

Still broken in 1.11.2, trying to rename snowballs, levels disappear but item doesn't get renamed.

@The Uknown :

What is the issue with making a master book ? It works as intended

Comment by branza [ 07/Apr/14 ]

Confirmed for 14w11b.

Comment by The Uknown [ 17/Mar/13 ]

It has been confirmed. Another problem is combinding enchants together in an anvil to make a master book. It has been messed up in the 1.5 update, but will probably soon be fixed.

Comment by Tails [ 25/Dec/12 ]

Confirmed in 1.4.6.
