Mending Begone
by q4niel
With Mending Begone installed, items keep their normal look and the Mending enchantment can be stripped from gear or removed from books.
What it does
Mending Begone is a Fabric mod for 1.21 that changes how the Mending enchantment behaves. Items enchanted with Mending appear as ordinary items unless the enchantment is actually present, and Enchanted Books holding only Mending show up as regular Books. Gear can also lose the enchantment automatically when it is obtained, so players who dislike Mending can avoid it.
Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside the mod. The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds exist for 1.21 only, with 0.1.1-1.21-Fabric as the latest file, published on 2024-12-04 on the beta channel. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Stronger Mending removal
The mod removes the enchantment more thoroughly, so items that carry it are handled instead of passing through unchanged.
Normal-looking items
Items with Mending show their ordinary appearance, so the enchantment is not visible on them.
Plain books for Mending-only books
Enchanted Books that contain only Mending display as regular Books in the inventory.
Automatic stripping
Gear that carries the Mending enchantment loses it on acquisition, without any action from the player.
