Description

Hammer Repair

Hammer Repair adds a single, permanent repair hammer that mends armor by spending the user's experience points. Keep a teammate's gear in shape during co-op, or fix your own pieces on the go, without an anvil and without "Too Expensive!".

A player repairs their teammate's damaged diamond armor with the hammer

How it works

Hold right-click. Every second the hammer lands a hit that restores up to 20 durability, costing 1 experience point per 2 durability, always paid by the player holding the hammer.

Mode Hands What gets repaired
Teammate Hammer in your main hand, aiming at another player within 3 blocks with a clear line of sight Their equipped armor piece with the lowest durability percentage (ties: helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots)
Yourself Hammer in your off hand, damaged armor piece in your main hand That piece. It takes priority over equipping it; undamaged pieces equip as usual

First person: hammer in the off hand, damaged diamond chestplate in the main hand

  • Releasing the button, switching items, losing sight, walking away, dying or disconnecting stops the action, and an unfinished hit is never charged.
  • Only the damage changes: enchantments, custom names and every other component are kept.
  • Experience is spent as exact points (not levels), with no rounding loss on the XP bar.
  • Free in Creative; disabled in Spectator.
  • Visible arm swing for everyone, a soft anvil sound, sparks and happy-villager particles on every repair. Short action-bar messages (no XP, nothing to repair, consent, done) that never spam.
  • Optional consent: with require_target_sneaking, your teammate has to crouch to accept the repair.

Recipe

Default recipe in the crafting table
Netherite Block Nether Star Netherite Block
Netherite Ingot Heavy Core Netherite Ingot
Blaze Rod

The recipe is fully configurable in config/hammer_repair/recipe.json: shaped or shapeless, items or tags from any mod, and alternatives per slot. Apply changes with /hammerrepair reload (operator level 2). A datapack defining hammer_repair:repair_hammer always takes priority, and "enabled": false turns the config recipe off.

In-game tooltip

Configuration

config/hammer_repair/common.json (server side; the host decides in single player and LAN):

Field Default Range Meaning
durability_per_xp 2 1–100 Durability restored per experience point
max_repair_per_hit 20 1–1000 Maximum durability per hit
hit_interval_ticks 20 5–200 Ticks between hits (20 = 1 second)
max_distance 3.0 1–6 Reach of the teammate repair, in blocks
require_target_sneaking false Your teammate must crouch to accept

Invalid files are rejected with a clear message (field, row and column), and the last valid configuration stays active. Full guide: configuration (Spanish).

Compatibility

  • Minecraft 1.21.1 (and 1.21) and 26.1.x, 26.2.x, 26.3.x. One file per Minecraft version.
  • Requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API. Needed on both client and server; a client without the mod gets a clear message when joining.
  • Armor from other mods works when the game recognizes it as a helmet, chestplate, leggings or boots and it uses standard durability.
  • Tested in CI with Lithium and FerriteCore.
