Craft items that modify other Items!

About this Mod
Small library mod that adds one very simple feature: Items that modify other items!
As an example, here's one simple Orb:
Orb of Repair
- Requirement: Item must be damaged
- Effect: Repairs 50 durability
**To use it, simply open your inventory and drag the orb towards the item you want to use it on! **
Things can get more interesting or complicated too, effects can be random, there might be more conditions etc
Both effects and requirements support vanilla item functions and predicates plus custom ones made by the mod.
The entire mod is made with datapacks so you can create your own custom Orbs!
This mod will be used by my other mods to add more custom Orbs.
