Passive Charms
by TigerOfTroy
Passive Charms gives Fabric players charms that work in the background, from a protective golden disk to craft, maintenance, industry and contingency charms.
What it does
Each charm is an item that reacts to what is in the player's inventory without being activated by hand. A protective charm built from a golden disk imbued with magic guards its holder. Maintenance charms look through the inventory for damaged items and repair cracks or sharpen tips, and they refuel themselves for later use. Industry charms search for unprocessed goods and burn away impurities or melt down trash, while aggressive charms consume enchanted, named or equipped items.
Contingency charms watch for an appointed time and release whatever power they have stored when that moment arrives. Each charm has six possible triggers and six possible effects, and the balance can be adjusted through the mod's configuration options. The mod requires Fabric API. Passive Charms runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric across 12 release versions, 1.16.1 – 1.20.1, with 1.5.2-MC1.20.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The source code is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license.

Imbued Diamonds is an MIT-licensed open-source Fabric mod for 1.21 that also runs on client and server.

Craft Charms, golden disks imbued with magic to support and protect the holder. Maintenance Charms search your inventory for damaged items, mending cracks and sharpening tips. If they find nothing else to repair, they turn inwards to refuel themselves for future use.
