Mending Rework
by foreverDusk
Mending Rework changes how anvils, mending and the Unbreaking enchantment behave on Fabric and NeoForge servers, with repairs that cost no experience.
What it does
Repairing an item at an anvil costs 0 experience levels, and combining an item with another one that is too expensive stays possible. The mod changes the anvil rules: future combine costs increase, while the default chance for an anvil to take damage is cut from 12% to 6%. Items with mending never take damage from renaming or repairing at an anvil.
Mending gets two changes: a mended item regains 10% more durability than before, and experience pickup lets the enchantment repair items over time as usual. The Unbreaking enchantment is adjusted to work the same way on armor and tools. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Files exist for 1.21.1, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 0.4 for 1.21.11 as the latest file on both loaders, and the code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Free anvil repairs
Repairing an item at an anvil costs no experience levels, so the anvil works as a free repair station.
Combine costs that rise
Each combination at an anvil raises the cost of the next one, which slows repeated stacking of enchantments.
Reduced anvil damage
The default chance for an anvil to take damage on use drops from 12% to 6%, so anvils last longer.
Stronger mending
Items with mending regain 10% more durability per repair, and experience pickup still feeds the enchantment.
