ToolNovation Reworked 1.0.0

A complete rewrite of the mod from the ground up. The original ToolNovation was a quick MCreator prototype with a fixed list of "broken" tool items. This version is built properly and changes how the whole system works.

The core idea

When a tool, weapon or piece of armor hits 0 durability, it no longer disappears. Instead it enters a broken state and stays in your inventory until you repair it. This now works with all vanilla and modded gear automatically — there are no more hardcoded broken-item variants to maintain.

What's new

Repair Forge A new block with its own interface. Drop in a damaged or broken item, add repair materials, and restore durability. Each material restores a configurable percentage, and you can choose to keep enchantments on repair.

Enchantments Five new enchantments, each with a real trade-off:

• Eternal Binding — locks enchantments to the item, but shatters when repaired.
• Vampire's Touch — heal from damage you deal, at the cost of faster durability loss (not compatible with Mending).
• Featherweight — faster attacks, but you take more damage while wielding it.
• Reinforced — keeps working at reduced power when broken instead of locking up.
• Tempered Edge — hits harder, but the blade wears out twice as fast.

Charms A charm system as an alternative way to apply these effects, each with a clear positive and negative.

Quality of life

• Wear penalty: worn-out tools mine slower as a warning before they break.
• Break message and particles when an item finally goes.
• Advancements for breaking and repairing your first item.
• In-game config screen via Cloth Config (optional) — and optional Modern UI support for a nicer-looking interface.

Configurable

Repair percentage per material, max materials per repair, whether repairs keep enchantments, whether anvil/grindstone repair is blocked, broken-armor protection level, and the wear-penalty thresholds.
