Doing a great run in Minecraft can take quite some time. The amount of grinding, mining, farming, and resupplying you need to do for you to get to a comfortable stage might be overwhelming to some.
Still, spending hours on getting every plan in order is quite rewarding.
However, itâs common for many players to postpone or give up on reaching a difficult goal. For instance, collecting a bunch of hearts of the sea to craft conduits will take a massive amount of time if you decide to do it organically.
On the other hand, crafting a full-diamond gear can be tiresome if you decide to mine all the diamonds you need until achieving your goal by hand.
For these reasons, some players decide to take an easier road, including taking advantage of glitches and bugs on Minecraft to farm or duplicate specific items.
Duping items in Minecraft is possible and hereâs how to do it.
Anvil and Grindstone Method
One method that can quickly grant you a massive amount of duped items happens when using an anvil. Note that doing this will only work on Minecraft 1.18.
To use this technique, youâll need to have:
- One anvil
- One grindstone
- Two books and quills
To do this method, youâll need to open up one of the books and quills and type the word âglitchâ. Next up, write the word âglitchâ for the book title and author name. Then, youâll sign and close it.
After having signed the book, combine it with the normal one in your inventoryâs crafting panel. To make a successful combination, you must combine the books perpendicularly as shown below.

The result from this combination will be the signed book. However, to make it work, you must quickly grab the resulting book, because just clicking and dragging it wonât make the glitch work. To quick grab on PC hold âshiftâ and click the item.
After retrieving the book, get ready for the duplication glitchâs next step, which will involve the anvil and grindstone.
Again, itâs crucial to understand that this method can duplicate any item, ranging from enchanted diamond armors to fruit seeds and infinity enchantment books.
Still, if your main focus is to duplicate armor, minerals, swords, bows, crossbows, and all military items that are enchanted and will cost you experience, youâll need to use the anvil. Moreover, ores and minerals also need to go through the anvil to duplicate.
For non-enchanted items that donât cost any experience, you can use the grindstone.
Anvil
What youâll need to do so you can take advantage of the anvil is to open it and place the item you want to duplicate on the anvilâs display. The next step is to alter the itemâs name by removing the last letter from it.
So, if youâre duplicating a stack of diamonds, youâll need to remove the letter âdâ from them.
In this sense, youâll be forging a diamond with the result being nicknamed as âdiamonâ. As a consequence of the glitch, the anvilâs outcome will be a duplicate of the original diamond.
To illustrate this better, assume you want to duplicate a diamond chestplate; then, youâll have to insert the item name as âdiamond chesplatâ.

In addition, if youâve put 32 diamonds, youâll get 32 dupe ones, amassing 64 in total.
So, whatever amount you insert, youâll get it again on the duplication glitch. Yet theyâll be separately stacked and wonât merge with the original âdiamondâ item.
Finally, even though the item name is not exactly as it should originally be, youâll still be able to use it. So, for instance, the duplicated diamond item, now called âdiamonâ, will still work as a regular item, and youâll be able to craft with it.
Grindstone
The grindstone provides an easy method for duplicating items that are enchanted. Additionally, the method also does not impact your experience level, as opposed to the anvil one.
To apply the duplication technique with a grindstone, simply walk to it and left-click it to open the workstationâs display.
After opening the grindstone, place an item on the bottom block inside the station. On the other side of the display, youâll notice that the resulting item will be the same one you placed.

Now, if you click on the item to quick-grab (holding shift and clicking on it) repeatedly, youâll glitch the game into duplicating the asset. Consequently, youâll be able to do it for any item that wonât require experience levels (non-enchanted).
The Chest Method (Bedrock Edition)
One pretty straightforward dupe glitch method that works fine up to the 1.18. bedrock version uses a single chest to do the trick. Itâs crucial to understand that this method only works for Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
What youâll need is a single chest and some digging.
![](https://diamondlobby.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/chest-first-1.jpg)
The first step in doing this method is to place a chest on the floor, in a clear field, with no stuff around the chest.
Then, dig six blocks of dirt in front of the chest, make sure you grab the blocks and hold them in your inventory in such a way they appear on the hot bar.

Next up, save and quit the game.
The next time you log into the game, you need to work really fast. Place the items you want to duplicate quickly inside the chest and replace all the six blocks of dirt you dug. Then, break the dirt blocks up instantly after.

Finally, terminate the game by hitting alt+F4 or the console button to close the application instantly.
This way the game will close without saving, thus enabling the glitch to happen. Consequently, the item in your inventory will reappear, and the items in the chest will stay.

However, even though this method proves to be highly successful, there are huge risks.
For instance, one of the most significant downsides of this glitch is that if it doesnât work, your items can disappear as a whole with no way to get them back. So, keep this in mind before attempting this glitch.
Word of advice: do the first tries with dispensable items to see if you got the concept right and if it will work before you try it with actual valuable items.
