Inventory Mending
by Serilum
Inventory Mending lets items carrying the Mending enchantment be repaired from experience while they sit in the inventory, not only when held or equipped.
What it does
Normally a Mending item only gains durability while it is held or worn. This server-side mod checks the other items in the inventory as well, so an enchanted item stored in a chest slot can still be repaired. The mod needs Collective to run, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything.
Key features
Repairs stored items
Enchanted items in the inventory are repaired even when they are not held or equipped.
Toolbar-only option
A config option, mendToolbarOnly, limits repair to items on the toolbar instead of the whole inventory. It defaults to false.
Held items first
By default the mod repairs the held and equipped items before it checks the rest of the inventory.
