About this tool

Pick an item and the enchantments you want: the calculator finds the order of anvil combinations that costs the fewest levels, never with a step at 40 levels or more — the one that turns "Too Expensive!" in survival. Worked out from the game's own enchantment data, for every item that takes books.

From the game files: Minecraft Java Edition 26.3.
