Gold Sun Regen
by BlueShell77
Gold Sun Regen makes damaged golden armor and tools repair themselves while they sit in direct sunlight, adding a slow repair to vanilla gold gear on NeoForge.
What it does
Golden helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots, swords, pickaxes, axes, shovels and hoes regain durability over time when they stand in open sky on a clear day. Repair runs only during daylight, so rain storms stop it, and the effect is strongest around midday and weaker at dawn and dusk. Shade and underground positions block it as well. Standing in shallow water still works if the head is open to the sun.
The mod changes only how vanilla golden gear behaves; it adds no new items or blocks. Golden items lying on the ground repair too, and a glow that circles them, paired with a faint humming sound, can be switched on. Sunlight particles drift inward toward gear that is repairing. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the MIT License, and its source code is public. Files exist for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2026-06-08.

Gold Sun Regen gives vanilla golden armor and tools a reason to wear — they slowly repair themselves while exposed to direct sunlight.
