Durability
by OwOWorld
Durability changes how items wear and repair in Minecraft 1.20.1, through curses, new repair materials and a set of crafting blocks added by the Forge mod.
What it does
Durability adds several new mechanics on top of vanilla gameplay. Curses can be applied to gear: Curse Opacity reduces the level opacity of armor sets by 25%, Curse Breaking makes an item take more damage per level, Curse Voiding disables an item's attributes, and Curse Obfuscation hides enchantment text. Netherite Scrap repairs an item entirely, Magma Cream restores 25% of its maximum durability, and Diamond Durability adds 32 points to an item while cancelling breakage based on the number of diamond durability it holds.
The mod also includes utility items and blocks. The Player Head changes the appearance of a player head, and the Echoing Bottle is brewed with Echo Shards and rounds up the drinker's experience level. The Gilding Table raises a random enchantment's level by one, up to three times, using gold, and the Echoing Chamber transfers enchantments between similar items while consuming Echo Shards. The mod is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1.
