Renaming an item in an anvil costs more than 1 experience level depending on the enchantments and repairs on the item
The bug
The experience level cost to rename an item in an anvil scales with the enchantments and/or repairs on an item. More specifically, the cost to rename an item follows the function 2^n where n is the number of enchantments or repairs done to the item.
This results in weapons and tools having their renaming costs increasing as more repairs and enchantments are added to it. Eventually this cost will top out at 39 levels just to rename a single item.
Renaming an item costs only 1 level when you rename it and also enchant/repair it. Therefore, it is a bug that only renaming the item after enchanting/repairing it costs more than 1 level.
How to reproduce
- Enchant an item in an anvil
- Put the item in the anvil and give it a new name
- Observe that the renaming cost is now greater than 1 experience level and is based upon the number of enchantments put upon the item
This effectively punishes the player for obtaining good enchantments, then renaming the item later. The rename should always cost 1 level regardless of whether a enchantment (or repair) has been added or not.
Image explanations
The first image shows that renaming an unenchanted item costs 1 level.
The second images shows the cost of the sword when you only enchant it (21 levels)
The third images shows the cost of the Sword when adding the enchantment(21 levels) and the enchantment (1 level) for a total of 22 levels of cost.
The fourth images shows the bug. If you rename an item with enchantments already on it while not enchanting/repairing the item at the same time, you will be charged more levels (in this case 16) to rename the item instead of just 1 level like the previous images.

Renaming an item in an anvil has a rename cost that scales with enchants on the item
The experience level cost to rename an item in an anvil scales with the enchantments on an item.
This results in weapons and tools having their renaming costs rise depending on the enchantments on the tool or weapon. Eventually this cost will top out at 39 levels just to rename a single item.
Renaming typically costs only 1 level when you also repair an item or put on the enchantment. Therefore it is a bug that only renaming the item has a cost dependent on the enchantments of the tool.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Enchant an item in an anvil
2. Observe that after enchanting, renaming cost has changed based upon the enchants put upon the tools or weapon.This effectively punishes the player for obtaining good enchantments, is inconsistent and thus should be considered a bug. The rename should either always cost 1 level or cost the same to rename regardless of whether a enchantment (or repair) is added or not. This can be seen in the set of images attached.
Image explanations:
The first image shows that enchanting an unenchanted item costs 1 level.
The second images shows the cost of the sword when you only enchant it (21 levels)
The third images shows the cost of the Sword when adding the enchantment(21 levels) and the enchantment (1 level) for a total of 22 levels of cost.
The fourth images shows that if you rename an item but do not repair it, you will be charged 16 levels to rename the item.The problem lies in the final two images.
Either the repair cost in image 3 should be 21 (for the enchant) + 16 (for the rename seen in 4 at that level of enchantment) = 37 total levels
OR
In image 4 the cost to rename should be 1 level (as it can be seen to be in image 3)
Only one of these interpretations is correct (although I suspect it is the latter) but either way there is definitely a bug here.

Image explanations
The first image shows that renaming an unenchanted item costs 1 level.
The second images shows the cost of the sword when you only enchant it (21 levels)
The third images shows the cost of the Sword when adding the enchantment(21 levels) and the enchantment (1 level) for a total of 22 levels of cost.
The fourth images shows that if you rename an item but do not enchant (or repair) it, you will be charged 16 levels to rename the item instead of just one.Since the cost to rename an item is supposed to be 1 level, and this behavior can make it cost up to 39 levels for a item rename, I believe this to be a bug.
The bug
The experience level cost to rename an item in an anvil scales with the enchantments and/or repairs on an item. More specifically, the cost to name an item follows the function 2^n where n is the number of enchantments or repairs done to the item.
This results in weapons and tools having their renaming costs rise depending on the enchantments on the tool or weapon. Eventually this cost will top out at 39 levels just to rename a single item.
Renaming an item costs only 1 level when you also repair or put on the enchantment. Therefore it is a bug that renaming the item after enchanting it costs more.
How to reproduce
- Enchant an item in an anvil
- Observe that after enchanting, renaming cost has changed based upon the enchants put upon the tools or weapon
This effectively punishes the player for obtaining good enchantments, is inconsistent and thus should be considered a bug. The rename should either always cost 1 level or cost the same to rename regardless of whether a enchantment (or repair) is added or not. This can be seen in the set of images attached.

Technically can't reproduce in 20w10a due to
MC-173725not allowing you to rename items at all but the code is still there.Bug now is reproducable again as of 20w11a since
MC-173725was fixed. Happens on all tools and weapons.I can confirm for 1.16.2
1.16.2 is already in the Affected Versions list
Can confirm in 21w07a.
Upon further investigation, the cost in experience levels to rename an item also scales with the number of repairs performed on the item using the anvil. The cost of renaming also increases at a rate 2^n levels (where n is the number of enchantments or repairs). I've updated the description to reflect this as it is now clear that the bug is that the game overwrites the repairs/enchantment cost to the rename cost.
the penalty to repair items makes sense, since it allows you to keep an enchanted tool longer. It baffles me that it would cost so much to rename an enchanted tool. I found that it costs nearly 40 levels of EXP to put all enchants onto a sword. After enchanting, it costs nearly 33 levels to rename. Costing a lot of EXP to enchant an item and repairing an item makes sense, since it upgrades the item. Changing the name of the item doesn't change the item's value, so it shouldn't be penalized so harshly. It would be a great 'quality of life' change if renaming an item didn't cost nearly as much as the enchants do themselves.
