advance repair
by Gamerofpro
Advance Repair lets an anvil use extra materials to restore durability, so a worn tool does not depend only on the usual repair item.
What it does
Advance Repair expands the anvil repair system of Minecraft. Besides the traditional repair material, other materials can restore a portion of an item's durability. Different materials restore different amounts, so the choice of what to use matters. The aim is to give more choices while keeping the progression economy of vanilla intact, and to avoid making durability meaningless.
Repairs still cost experience levels, and the cost changes with the item: a normal item costs less, an enchanted or trimmed item costs more, and an item that is both enchanted and trimmed costs the most. Repair information such as the material, the amount restored and the cost is added to item tooltips, so players do not have to memorize recipes. A configurable Target Mod ID system lets the mod work on equipment from other mods, and netherite armor can be repaired with diamond as well as with other netherite pieces. The mod runs on NeoForge, and both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; the source is published, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Alternative repair materials
Anvils accept additional materials that restore part of an item's durability, alongside the traditional repair item.
Cost by item state
Normal, enchanted, trimmed and enchanted-and-trimmed items each carry a different experience cost to repair.
Repair information in tooltips
Tooltips show the repair details for an item, so the recipe does not have to be memorized.
Configurable target equipment
A Target Mod ID setting lets the repair system apply to equipment from other mods, not only vanilla items.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on NeoForge 1.21.1 who want more repair options at the anvil, or who play with modded equipment that vanilla repair does not cover.
How it compares
No Increasing Repair Cost works on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21 – 26.1, with open source under the MIT License, and it changes the cost growth rather than adding materials. Smart Durability & Repair is NeoForge only for 1.21.1 and client-side only, so only the client needs it. Copper Handles is NeoForge only for 1.21.5, not open source, and runs on client and server like Advance Repair.
