Rype's Auto Item Mending
by ItzNotRype
Rype's Auto Item Mending is a client-side Fabric utility that repairs damaged Mending items from the inventory without manual offhand swapping.
What it does
Players who keep Mending gear in the main inventory can have it repaired automatically. The mod scans the 27 main inventory slots, skipping the hotbar and armor slots, finds damaged items, and moves each one into the offhand while XP is collected naturally. Once the item is repaired, the original offhand item is put back in its place. Repair happens one time per item, using the normal vanilla inventory.
The mod is a client-side Fabric build for Minecraft 1.21.11 and needs nothing on the server, so it works in single-player and on any server the player joins. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional, providing a simple configuration screen. Only the client needs the mod installed, and players can still run it alongside other inventory utilities. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Sword attacks can also be performed by the mod at a configurable speed between 5 and 50 ticks, which keeps the mending XP flowing while the player is busy elsewhere.

How it compares
Fast Mending is a server-side only Fabric mod under the MIT License, for 1.21.11, so it runs on the server and needs nothing on the player side. Hhotbar Keeper is another client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11, but it is under All rights reserved and is not open source. More Offhand is a client-side Fabric mod under the MIT License covering 1.21 – 1.21.11, so it supports a wider version span than this mod.
