Revamped Repairs
by cptiger2009
Revamped Repairs changes how damaged tools are fixed, using EXP Crystals and a Forge workbench instead of mending enchantments, and runs on the server alone.
What it does
Repairs are carried out at a new Forge workbench, where a damaged tool is placed with its repair ingredients. The tool must be a tool core for its type and carry at least one level of experience to be repaired. EXP Crystals, made by crafting from three iron ingots, one EXP crystal and five wood planks, supply the experience and make the collection of XP easier, which speeds up early-game progress. Players who prefer not to rely on enchantments can use this route instead of mending.
Repairing a tool keeps its enchantments, and the forged output shows the enchanted look. A slot in the workbench lets a player take out a tool and gain an enchantment, and the tool cores used in crafting can take damage during the process. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, while the server needs it to run the repair system. Revamped Repairs is released for Forge and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.20.6, and the code is not open source, under All rights reserved.

What the author says
Easy Repairs is a mod that allows for a much easier repair process for your tools. It keeps enchants and works similar to mending, but without enchants. New crystals are added to be used in crafting, and make XP collection easier.
