Unbreaking Enchantment Rework

This idea for an unbreaking rework comes with a couple phases. First, the unbreaking enchantment would need to change from essentially adding durability to making the tools and armor it’s equipped to break similar to the elytra where it won’t erase itself. The next phase would be add a new enchantment (called something like “durability”) that actually increases the durability of whatever item it is applied to. It won’t work the way unbreaking currently does where there’s a chance that the action does not take durability, instead the durability is actually scaled up by a certain percentage as the enchantment gets higher. The final phase would be to make the new “durability” enchantment incompatible with mending. I think that this would provide more versatility to the enchantments and allow for more customization of the weapon to the need of the player.

  This would also make gold useful since you could have durability and unbreaking easily to make your golden tools last much longer. Really cool!

  I guess this could increase xp used in mending, but also clutter the inventory with many extra tools, for multiplayer where armour repairing in fights is a must it would break the balance that currently is very good not only would your armour break faster it also decreases the efficiency of xp bottles since they repair the same amount of durability that just breaks faster due to there not beeing the effect of vanilla "Unbreaking" . Unless the "Durability" enchant gave more than the vanilla "Unbreaking" causing carrying extra sets of "Durability" armour to be better than "Unbreaking" /w mending that could instead be used against less geared players and mobs to save resources. That armour would still need to be equiped when someone geared comes not to mention repaired after it goes to 0 and that needs the rework of anvil levels going up untill its not fixable anymore (idk if i had to think of anything it could be some reforging to make them go down)
