HSM - Mending fix & Skyblock drill fix
by Rekteiru
HSM - Mending fix & Skyblock drill fix corrects several vanilla behaviors, including mending progress resets and a mining-related XP pickup bug, and adds a drill check for Hypixel Skyblock items.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft resets block break progress when a pickaxe with mending picks up experience from a mined block, and the mod addresses this with the same fix Hypixel uses. Some related bugs also reset item data where they should not. Bows, tridents, shields and a few other items were partly affected by an older bug that returned later and was only partly repaired in newer releases, and the mod covers those items as well. The fixes are applied with mixins, so the changes sit inside the running game rather than in replaced files.
The mod was originally written for Hypixel Skyblock. Its drill fix checks whether a drill keeps the same unique identifier as before and whether everything else about it is unchanged, so that a drill is not mistaken for a new item. The mod is published for Fabric and Forge, with Fabric builds for 1.21.11 and a Forge build for 1.8.9. It is client-side only, so servers and other players do not need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Mending progress fix
Mining a block with a mending pickaxe no longer resets block break progress when the tool picks up experience.
Item reset fixes
Several vanilla cases where items lose data they should keep are corrected through mixins.
Bow, trident and shield fixes
Bows, tridents, shields and some other items are covered by a fix for a bug that returned in later releases.
Skyblock drill check
Drills are compared against their previous state by unique identifier and other properties, so an unchanged drill is not treated as a new item.

What the author says
This mod uses mixins to fix the annoying vanilla bugs that resets your items where they shouldn't, like when mining a block using a mending pickaxe while picking up xp. This bug has been fixed in 1.14.2, reintroduced in 1.15, and partially fixed in a later version - only some items (bows, tridents, shields, etc.)…
