About this Mod
eXc BetterMending
Tired of waiting for Mending to slowly sip your XP orbs one at a time? eXc BetterMending turns Mending into an active ability. Hold a Mending-enchanted tool, weapon, or piece of armor, Shift + Left-click, and instantly pour your experience into repairing it — right when you need it.
Features
- On-demand repair — Shift + Left-click a held item to repair it using your current XP.
- Works with any Mending item — tools, weapons, and armor all supported.
- Vanilla-accurate rate — 1 experience point restores 2 durability, just like regular Mending.
- Smart spending — one click repairs as much as it can; fully if you have enough XP, otherwise as far as your XP reaches.
- Server-safe — all repairs are handled server-side, so no desync and no cheating. Great for multiplayer.
- Zero config, zero clutter — no new items, no GUI, no keybinds to set up. It just works.
How to use
- Hold a damaged item that has the Mending enchantment in your main hand.
- Press R (or your chosen key).
- Your XP is spent and the item's durability is restored. A soft chime confirms the repair.
Nothing happens if the item is undamaged, has no Mending, or you have no XP — so your normal left-click is never in the way.
