I think they should change how you repair items on the anvil. Like
Instead of having two damaged swords to repair into one sword
It could be just two iron ingots If it's a iron sword or two diamonds for a diamond sword ect.
I think it would make alot more sense and just make it a lot easier
What do you think??

I think you can already use the anvil in this manner:

Repairing and renaming

Main article: Anvil mechanics
Anvils have two modes to repair items with durability:

• A player can combine two items similar to the crafting grid, but the target will keep its enchantments, and may gain new ones from the sacrificed item.
• Or a player can use materials respective to the item (iron ingots for iron items with durability, diamonds for diamond items with durability). One material can only repair 25% of the target's maximum durability.

In addition, the player can rename any item - not just items with durability - using an anvil. Renaming an item removes the penalty paid for repairing the same item multiple times.
