Mending Book Not Required: Repair Kit
by Pawofthewild
Repair Kit lets players repair tools and armor with crafted kits instead of an anvil and a Mending book, and its three tiers cover early to late game.
What it does
The mod adds a repair material in three tiers: a Crude Repair Kit, a Repair Kit and an Advanced Repair Kit. Crafting starts from a Glue Ball, made from two Bonemeal and a Slime Ball, and the Crude kit needs two Glue Balls, five Iron Ingots and a Gold Ingot. Each later tier builds on the one before, with Duct Tape made from four Glue Balls and four Paper.
Repair Kits can be used as an alternative to the anvil method, so an item can be repaired without an enchanted book or the grinding it takes to obtain one. Tool and armor repair is unlimited with the kits, and the Repair Kit tiers are also used to craft specialist kits for Elytra, Trident, Turtle Helmet and Mace repair. Repairs apply to vanilla tools, and modded tools only when they carry the matching repairable tag.
Key features
Three repair kit tiers
Crude, standard and Advanced kits form a chain, each tier crafted from the previous one and from common materials.
Glue Ball and Duct Tape
Glue Balls come from bonemeal and slime, and Duct Tape is pressed from Glue Balls and Paper to form the core of the kits.
Specialist item kits
Elytra, Trident, Turtle Helmet and Mace kits each need an Advanced kit plus materials such as Phantom Membrane, Prismarine Crystal, Scute or Breeze Rods.
Unlimited repairs
Kits can be applied repeatedly, so a worn item can be repaired again without a new enchanted book.
