Simple Smithing Overhaul

The mod reworks smithing costs. A damaged item can be repaired with a smithing recipe that restores it to full durability while using the same amount of material the vanilla recipe would need, and a diamond pickaxe crafted with 3 diamonds needs only 3 diamonds instead of 4. Enchanted gear can be obtained through smithing, villager trades and loot rather than only through the enchanting table, so the enchanted item supply is faster and the enchanting level required for a result is higher in exchange.

Repairs apply to any repairable item in the game, and the mod adds new smithing templates alongside a rebalance of enchantment sources. Item descriptions are added for items the mod uses. The advancement progression is laid out in the vanilla style across 11 entries, and some entries stay hidden until discovered. Most aspects are configurable, and the description reflects default settings, so a player who dislikes a change can adjust it in the configuration screen.
