Originally designed for Enchiridion, Menderman is a mod reworking the Anvil's repair systems, focusing on the cost and return of using an Anvil.

The mod can be downloaded from either CurseForge or Modrinth.

Configuration and Integration

There is no file based config, as most of the mod's logic can be changed via components or gamerules.

If you need to change these gamerules on a global level, I would suggest the Preferred Gamerules mod.

The mod also fully supports JEI, REI and EMI via modifying their contents.

Maven

Menderman can be depended on via Modrinth's maven or from the Greenhouse Maven.

Newer Versions

Please use Modrinth's maven.
