Anvil Stand Repair
Placing an Armor Stand on top of an Anvil creates a passive repair station, and the mod, Anvil Stand Repair, makes that pairing work for worn gear.
What it does
Once an Armor Stand sits on an Anvil, items placed on it are repaired gradually over time, with a full cycle of about 160 seconds. A player can remove an item early and keep the durability already regained. The Anvil is not endless: it takes damage during use, shows the Chipped and Damaged stages, and eventually breaks after heavy usage, at which point the station is gone.
Armor Stand slots hold up to four armor pieces (helmet, chest, legs and boots), and the main hand and off hand each take one tool or weapon, with a shift and right-click placing a second item in the off hand. Up to six items can be repaired at the same time. The repair logic runs on the server side, so the server must run the mod, and every player who joins it needs the Fabric mod loader and the Fabric API to match the installed build.
Anvil Stand Repair is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.10. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
