Bonded

by iamkaf

Bonded gives tools, weapons and armor a level that rises with use, with upgrades and repairs handled at dedicated benches.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.3

What it does

Items that are used gain bonus stats over time, so a sword or pickaxe becomes stronger the more it is worked. The item must reach level 10 before its upgrade can be applied at the Tool Bench, which moves it to the next tier. The Repair Bench restores durability by consuming one repair material per repair. Both the level requirement and the upgrade materials can be set in the config.

Bonded requires Amber and Konfig on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Upgrade paths for particular weapon and tool families come from separate compat add-ons, and the catalog lists several of them that target this mod. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, with files for 1.21 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Gear levelling

    Tools, weapons and armor gain experience through use and level up, adding bonus stats as they go.

  2. Tool Bench upgrades

    The Tool Bench moves an item that has reached level 10 to the next tier, using the configured upgrade material.

  3. Repair Bench

    The Repair Bench restores durability and uses one repair material item per repair.

  4. Addon API

    An API under com.iamkaf.bonded.api lets other mods add upgrade paths, repair materials, experience caps and item stack integrations.
