Wear Modulator
by Yumetztli
Wear Modulator is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge equipment mod that changes how an item's repair cost and reset behave, through datapacks.
What it does
Wear Modulator adds a datapack-driven way to reset an item's repair cost, so anvil work is not limited to the vanilla cost growth. Changes are made by data files rather than by code, which lets a server owner set which items are affected without touching the jar.
The server must run the mod, while players may add it to the client. Installing it on the server alone is enough for the datapack behavior to apply. Fabric API is optional, and it is only needed when the Fabric build is used with features that depend on it.
Builds cover 1.21.11 – 26.2, with files for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the latest file for each loader is v1.1.1+mod for 26.2, published 2026-06-23. The mod was first published on 2026-02-17. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Use cases
Server with custom gear
A server running custom equipment can reset repair cost for those items, so repairs stay practical after heavy use.
Adventure maps
Map makers can use the datapack to control repair costs on specific items without changing the vanilla anvil for the rest of the world.
Who it’s for: Server owners and map makers who want to control anvil repair cost through datapacks. Players on a server that runs the mod need nothing extra, since the client side is optional.
