Balance Mending

I really want to balance Gameplay about Mending. Once I got at least 14 Mending books And all Netherrite gear (at least 56 Ancient Debris) in survival, I'll slowly get bored of that world because I'm OP with it. Once OP, there's almost nothing left to do but to simply be resourceful, kill mobs with mend breaks, and upgrading builds faster. I'm set with the very same equipment for life in that world.

I want to give this idea as a change for this famous Mending enchantment, to create a curse hybridcy for Mending, just for a real challenge. Vote if you want Mending to be balanced

  • Your Mending item damaged will lose up to 9 durability only if enchanted with any Protection, Sharpness, Smite, Bane of Arthropods, or Efficiency, plus Unbreaking. The less mentioned enchantment levels, the stronger the durability. 
  • Any blocks mined and any mobs killed by a Mending item, the value in XP orbs that's dropped from will be reduced, more reduction with Armor with Mending worn.

    I believe that this enchantment can be balanced in another way. A 10% chance to reduce the maximum durability value when repairing an item with this enchantment, the maximum durability value can be restored by repairing an object on an anvil, but you will not be able to do this forever due to the peculiarities of using the anvil. 

    There is no point in increasing the amount of experience needed for repairing. Since experience farms bring a huge amount of experience. 

    It also makes no sense to reduce the amount of experience gained by the item with this enchantment, since nothing prevents you from entering the same endermen farm and going through more than 30 levels with an ordinary stone sword in a couple of minutes.

    Making the item more fragile with this enchantment sounds like a good idea. But in this case, initially fragile things will break instantly, which is not good.

    i would love this, it would make non-mending items great

    better enchantments + mending  = more time spent getting xp

    would be wonderful to balance it out, It would make people look for different ways to keep their tools in mint-condition instead of just walking over to the local xp farm for two seconds and hvaing full durability on all netherite items. It would make redstone mining machines more necesary for mining out large areas, therfore get more people into redstone, even if for this one thing.

     

    Mending is honestly too op as it is with how easy xp farms are to make and use

    Any of these points should be discussed ONLY AFTER nerfing XP farms speculating on underdeveloped AI. In addition, it is worth fixing the "reroll" that forces librarians to change the assortment when the pulpit is destroyed and established. At least increase the cooldown.
