Make "Too Expensive" from anvils a gamerule

I understand that completely removing "Too Expensive" would be overpowered, especially on big multiplayer servers. But im suggesting that it should be a gamerule.

It's always saddening when you get almost every enchantment that you want on a piece of armor or a tool, you only have one more to add, and it's "Too Expensive". All of that hard work and you can't add the last enchantment.

Having this be a gamerule such as "anvilLimit" We would be able to increase the amount of levels that an anvil allows. As of right now, it only allows 40. Either that or we could turn it off entirely.

I don't believe this to be as gamebreaking as other people and other posts on this website say, because to get all of the enchantments you would need well over 200+ xp levels. With all the grinding that's involved, i think its a good trade off.

I believe that this would be a nice feature for singleplayer worlds and small servers with only a few people on them.

  Why should there be a limit to it at all though?

  I don't see any reason that the game should force you to eventually lose an item (unless it has Mending on it). I think the way XP works with Anvils should change, so that it only gets more expensive based on how many Enchantments are on it. So Repairing an item would be more expensive depending on how many Enchantments are on it, but it wouldn't add to the cost of it.

  (and renaming something should always be cheap, like 1-2 levels, and also wouldn't add to the cost)
