MCPE-36931Renaming items by anvil increases the prior work penalty
Update by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells):
Summary:
Renaming an item using an anvil increases the prior work penalty, it should not. It should only add a single level, plus any prior penalty.
Wiki:
Renaming always costs a single level, in addition to any Prior Work penalty. Renaming will not increase the prior work penalty.
Repro Steps:
- Obtain sufficient XP
- Switch to Survival
- Rename a new sword in an anvil
- Notice the XP cost
- Rename it several more times, and notice the exponential increase in cost
Observed Results:
The costs doubles each time it's renamed. In Survival, the item will become 'too expensive' to upgrade, rename, or repair.
Expected Results:
Renaming should only cost one level each time, and should not add to the prior work penalty.
