Verification builds and Platforms:

1.11.0.8 RC1 (Minecraft-Release_UAP_x64_1926090)

Summary:

Changing an item's name in an anvil no longer increases the item's repair cost.

Impact:

Breaks the core mechanic in Pixel Drop and would require the map to be updated and resubmitted.

Repro Steps:

1. Create a new world
2. Place down an anvil
3. Run command: /xp 10L
4. Rename any item multiple times

Observed Results:

The cost to rename the item remains at 1 level each time.

Expected Results:

In prior versions the repair cost (i.e., levels required to rename the item) would increase after each naming.

Screenshot/Video?

Yes, attached.

Regression Builds:

1.10.0.7 RC2 (Minecraft-Release_UAP_x64_1846015)

Notes:

Pixel Drop can be updated to conform to the observed behavior, but I'm unsure whether this is a bug or intended behavior.
