About this Mod
About
This mod is a standalone module featuring selected mechanics originally designed for the Expected mod.
While not a part of Expected itself, the content included here has been extracted from it to allow players more control over which gameplay changes they want to apply. The mechanics aim to enhance game balance, increase difficulty, and provide logical updates to underused or overly powerful systems—all while maintaining the vanilla Minecraft spirit.

Changes to Mending Mechanics
Durability Loss During Mending via Anvil

When using an anvil to apply the Mending enchantment, the item loses 50% of its maximum durability. This change makes the decision to repair more significant and diminishes the previously overpowered effect of this enchantment.
