MendingXP
MendingXP shows, in a single HUD panel, how much XP is still needed to repair the Mending gear a player holds or wears.
What it does
A client tick scans the held items and worn armor, covering the main hand, off hand, helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots. Every damaged item carrying the Mending enchantment adds to a combined total of missing durability, and the panel reports that total as points of XP alongside an approximate level count based on the real vanilla level curve. Mending restores 2 durability per XP point, so the total XP figure is the amount needed to repair everything at once.
When more than one damaged Mending item is equipped, the header of the panel shows the count. The panel appears only when something still needs repair, and it disappears once all equipped gear is full. The M key toggles the HUD on and off, and an action-bar message confirms the new state. Fabric API is required. The mod runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
