Timeless Ivy:Reborn
by mrqx0195
Timeless Ivy:Reborn brings back a Botania item named Timeless Ivy, which lets damaged equipment repair itself with mana on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod restores the Timeless Ivy item that older Botania releases once included. Its purpose is to let equipment with durability repair itself, spending mana instead of relying on the Mending enchantment, which has been removed from the game. Combining a small amount of experience points with a repairable item in an anvil grants that item the repair ability.
Players can therefore keep using strong equipment from other mods without losing its durability. Compatibility is broad, since the ability works on most items from other mods. The behavior is customizable through the timeless ivy reborn-common.toml config file, and a server owner who wants a lower mana cost can adjust it there.
Timeless Ivy:Reborn requires Botania. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Use cases
Keeping modded gear
Players who rely on strong equipment from other mods can keep it in working order without repair materials.
Modpacks and servers

Who it’s for: Players who use Botania and want durability repair without the Mending enchantment, and server owners who want to offer that repair to everyone on a server.
How it compares
TaCZ Fixes is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server for 1.20.1, so it is a fix for a gun pack rather than a repair mechanic. TaCZ-Labs is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and needs the client, while the server may skip it. Timeless Ivy:Reborn is also open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, but it runs on client and server and is aimed at repairing items rather than changing guns.
