Wescraft: Bleach
by OttoVR_
Wescraft: Bleach adds washing machines, a washing tub and a washing board to repair armor and tools slowly in the early game on NeoForge for 1.21.1.
What it does
Players start with a washing board, crafted from basic materials, and use it to clean armor by hand. Repair is slow, so the board suits the first stages of a survival world before stronger equipment is available. A washing tub with a product added to it lets armor be repaired gradually as well, without any machine.
Crafting a washing machine enables automatic repair: it works through armor using soap, and the rate at which it repairs is configurable. Drying machines take wet items and return them dry, and armor that is still wet from washing is less useful until it has been dried. Bleach courses and a tool washing machine extend the same idea to other equipment.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Wescraft: Bleach is published for NeoForge only, in version 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Washing board for early repair
A hand-operated washing board is the first crafted tool, so armor can be cleaned and repaired before any machine is built.
Washing tub and product
A washing tub combined with a cleaning product repairs armor slowly, giving a second option that needs no power.
Automatic washing machine
A crafted washing machine repairs armor on its own using soap, and the repair rate can be configured.
Drying machines and lint
Drying machines return wet items to a dry state, and wet armor is less useful until it passes through them.

Use cases
Early survival progress
Players with little iron or diamond gear can keep armor usable by washing it on the board or in the tub.
Long-term automation
Once the washing machine is built, armor is maintained in the background while players work on other tasks.
Who it’s for: Survival players who want a slow, early-game way to keep armor in use, and server owners who want to tune the repair rate through configuration.
