Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Mending Tweaks/Revamp

Mending is by far one of the best enchantments in the game. It allows you to keep any enchantable item forever (as long as you supply exp). 

Although it's an amazing enchantment, it could use some touch ups. Here are some examples:

  • When holding a mending item, exp can count into you exp bar instead of repairing the item. Therefor it's usually a 50% change on whether your item mends, making the process slower.
  • Mending repairs worn armor, but doesn't appear to prioritize armor with lower durability.
  • Armor you're wearing sometimes gets prioritized over an item you are holding.

 

The way I'd hope to see mending work in the future, is that all items held in your hand/off-hand are prioritized over armor pieces. As well as when holding/wearing an item with mending, that has lost durability will mend 100% of the time, instead of the exp going into the exp bar about 50% of the time (I believe this will have minimal effect on gathering exp). As well as armor pieces with lower durability being prioritized.

    This would be nice, especially the bit about prioritizing lower-durability items first. Also, I never knew that it sometimes went into your XP bar, I guess I never paid attention. Regardless, I hope Mojang listens to this!

    I believe the way it works is exp gained is divided up between every mending item you have on/holding.  If the item is full durability that exp goes to your exp bar.  

     

    So what really needs to happen is that exp doesn't go to anything at full durability.  All exp would be redirected to items not full durability.  If everything is full then and only then does it go to your exp bar.

    When an item with the enchantment is held or equipped (in the main hand, offhand, or armor slots), collected experience orbs repair the item at a rate of 2 durability per XP instead of adding the XP to the player's total experience. If multiple items have the enchantment, one is chosen at random for each XP orb collected, and if the chosen item does not need repair, the XP is added to the player's total as normal, rather than choosing another item to repair.

    The only thing I believe they should change is choosing another item to repair instead of going to the player's experience. Only when everything is fully repair, should the exp go to the player.

    So far, all the youtubers and twichers I've watched, do something in common! Every single time they want to repair their items, they remove those that are already full so that the exp doesn't go automaticaly to the player's exp. And removing the gear, they expose themselfs and risk to die. I think they should just change it. No need for chosing the lowest durability item or split 50-50 something. As long as repair always gets priority over going to player exp, everything is perfect. What do you think?
