Mend Mod
by httpace
Mend Mod shows, while an XP bottle is held, which equipped armor piece should be mended first and how much durability each bottle would restore.
What it does
Holding an XP bottle brings up a heads-up display that lists the optimal mending target among the armor a player wears. For each candidate it calculates minimum, average and maximum possible mending values for the number of bottles in hand, factoring in the randomness of experience orbs so that bottles are not wasted. The Smart Mend Target feature adapts to the armor type, including modded gear.
The HUD can be customized in game. Opening Mod Menu, selecting Pace's Mend Hud and choosing Config lets a player change the color, position and text shadow. The mod needs Cloth Config API and Mod Menu, which must be installed alongside it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the client is the only side that needs the mod, so servers run without it.
