Mending is great and all, but too overpowered and generally unhealthy for progression. This mod fixes that, while also tweaking a couple other aspects of gameplay to make the removal of Mending palatable.<\/p>\n
### Mending
\n– Mending no longer appears on enchanted books, loot tables, villager trades, or enchanting tables.
\n– Mending optionally becomes a rare exploration-chest reward (enable-able and configurable in config).
\n– Existing Mending items in worlds can be cleared with the `\/nomending strip-world` command (op-only). The mod does **not** strip Mending from inventories, containers, or villager trades automatically.<\/p>\n
### Anvils and Repairing
\n– Anvil repairs cost **0 XP** and do **not** raise the prior-work cost.
\n– Anvil repairs restore items to **full** durability per craft.
\n– Sensible repair materials for vanilla items that lack them.
\n– Items that could take Mending but have no repair material fall back to **Bottle O’ Enchanting** (disable-able).
\n– Modpack devs can add or override repair pairs with **datapack JSON**.
\n– JEI displays anvil repair recipes for everything we touch.<\/p>\n
#### Modified Repair Recipes
\n– netherite tools\/armor \u2192 2 diamonds or 1 netherite scrap
\n– tridents \u2192 prismarine shard
\n– bows & fishing rods \u2192 string
\n– brushes \u2192 feather
\n– crossbow \u2192 3 iron nuggets
\n– shears \u2192 3 iron nuggets<\/p>\n
### QoL
\n– Unbreaking gives armor the same durability-save chance as it gives tools.
\n– At 1 durability, armor unequips (if possible – it’ll stay equipped if there’s no free inventory space) and tools\/weapons cannot be used (disable-able).<\/p>\n
### Mending as a rare exploration reward
\nWhen `allowMendingInLoot` is set true, it becomes a very rare possibility (2% chance, configurable) in the following locations:
\n– Stronghold
\n– End city
\n– Ancient city
\n– Dungeons
\n– Buried treasure
\n– Jungle temple
\n– Desert pyramid
\n– Trial chamber ominous vault<\/p>\n
### Compatibility
\nAny mod that introduces items that were enchantable with Mending and have no repair recipe will need a data entry, as they will fallback to Bottle O’ Enchanting (unless that option is disabled).<\/p>\n
Two Create repair recipes are shipped with this mod currently:
\n| Mod | Item | Material |

\n| Create | `create:copper_backtank` | Copper ingot |
\n| Create | `create:potato_cannon` | Copper ingot |<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
