What it does

Useful Anvil is a Fabric adventure mod that reworks anvil repairs. Repairing a tool with the materials it requires extends its life, and the tooltip shows the current mending efficacy. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib) are required, and Mod Menu is optional for its config screen. Files are published for 1.19 – 1.21, with 1.0.5 for 1.21 as the latest file, and the code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.

Key features

  1. Opinionated repair rules

    Anvil repairs follow the mod's own rules, so repairing an item is no longer a pure stack of costs.

  2. Material-based repairs

    Repairing a tool with its required material prolongs the tool's life.

  3. Mending efficacy tooltip

    The item tooltip displays the current mending efficacy of the tool.
