Menderman

Available for FabricAvailable for NeoForge

Originally designed for Enchiridion, Menderman is a mod reworking the Anvil's repair systems, focusing on the cost and return of using an Anvil.

 

Featuring

New Materials and Costs for repairing items within the Anvil!

Showcase of New Materials and Costs

As well as...

  • Repairing and renaming items through the Anvil no longer costs any experience.
  • Renaming items without any other action no longer has a chance to break the anvil.
  • Repair cost for items no longer increases after every use of the anvil.

Configuration and Integration

There is no file based config, as most of the mod's logic can be changed via components or gamerules.

If you need to change these gamerules on a global level, I would suggest the Preferred Gamerules mod.

The mod also fully supports JEI, REI and EMI via modifying their contents.
