Anvil is breaking after 3-4 uses for creating / repairing enchanted items. We've lost 3 anvils after 3-4 uses each time.

Made Two Anvils on vanilla Realms Bedrock. First one was used a Max of Three times with two name tags and a Applying Mending to a Silk Touch tool. Made a Second one, 1 use, a Mending book to a Fortune tool

Anvils have a 12% chance EACH use to break and go up one damage level. So while we don't appreciate it, there is a chance if the wrong dice roll comes up, an anvil can break in 3 uses.
This is not a bug. If you want this changed, post to feedback site and get people to upvote a change to the anvil mechanic. In the real world, we have had anvils that have existed for hundreds of years. 12% chance PER usage is way too weak for an anvil.
Anvils either need a much lower chance OR there needs to be a durability value given to the anvil so that a reasonable amount of damage has to happen before it breaks. The current mechanic is ridiculous. Someone needs to educate Mojang devs about the concepts of Blacksmithing. If these were stone anvils, I would believe it, but no iron anvils.
Jay Sirrom, I've become aware of that 12% each use while searching for this thread.
However, having such a streak of "Bad Luck" between multiple users with new Anvils Back to Back since the update—it's more than just the Odds playing against you.
I've never had such a bad string of luck in Minecraft or any game minus my own user errors. It's especially troublesome when Anvils are expensive and/or in newly Opened Worlds.
And well, let's face it, Iron Farms in Bedrock are...."meh" at best.
Also am having this problem, anvils never did this and now its crazy how fast they break. 2 times for one and 4 for another.
I am a new player. While using my anvil a few times it disappeared. This kept happening. I was sure this must be a bug. I thought I was doing something wrong because there was no picture of an anvil being destroyed it would just disappear. Also there was no notice that your anvil was broken. Before I submitted a bug report I searched and found this thread. I am assuming that my issue is the same.
I too believe the anvil gets destroyed too quickly. I have probably lost 8 to 10 anvils in a very short time period.
. I would like to see:
A big notice saying something like "The anvil has broken from excess use" and/or
A sequence on screen of the anvil breaking to show it's destruction and/or
A pile of rubble shows for a while where the anvil used to be.
Thank you for taking the time to read this reply.
