MendingPriority
Tired of Mending randomly repairing the wrong armor piece? This mod lets you set a priority target.
How It Works
Press L to cycle through repair modes. Your selected armor piece will receive Mending repair priority first — before any other piece gets repaired.
- Helmet — helmet gets priority for XP repair
- Chestplate — chestplate gets priority for XP repair
- Leggings — leggings get priority for XP repair
- Boots — boots get priority for XP repair
- Vanilla — normal random Minecraft behavior (default)
Each time you press L, a short message appears in your actionbar showing the current target, like Repair Target: Helmet.
Fallback
If the selected armor piece doesn't have Mending or is already at full durability, the mod automatically falls back to vanilla behavior.
No Bloat
No config screen. No GUI. No menus. Just one keybind. The key can be rebound in Options → Controls → MendingPriority.
