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).

A problem with Mending

Mending is very usefull enchantment to have, that allows our tools and armor to last forever, since it allows them to be repaired with xp points.

But, Mending has now become extremely common, making it lose its value.

Here I have 2 possible solutions:

  • Make it rare again, removing it from the villager trading tables, or limiting it
  • Change the way it works, because Mending made anvils useless: maybe, instead of repairing the tool/armor/weapon with xp, it may reduce the cost needed to repair it on an anvil, by reducing the exponential growth of xp needed to something lower, maybe 1-2 levels added after each repair, maybe capping it to a certain point (maybe 50 levels as a cap)

    Maybe mending would have a chance to steal durability from other tools. It would prioritize the item with the highest durability. This means that to repair something while you have multiple items in you inventory, it would take extra long as there would randomly be items losing durability.

    How about this: Some more enchantments are going to be tresure enchantments (like infinity and fire aspect)
    These tresure enchantments are a possible trade on a maxed villager. It would make mending more expensive, you can't reset trades that often, etc.
