In vanilla MC, you can put two of the same tool/armor piece together in a crafting table and it would combine the two into one, but it would have more durability. For an anvil, you can put a tool in, add its respective material, and it would repair the tool a bit.

I would like to do this with my modded tools and armor. I don’t know how to do it, so does anyone else know? If you need me to provide any code, I will happily do so. Thanks

Hello!

Are you using forge? Because if so, then you just need to supply the repair material in your custom ItemTier/ArmorMaterial.

Are you talking about setRepairItem? If so, I tried that, and it didn’t do anything. So it looked like this: EnumHelper.addArmorMaterial(<values>).setRepairItem(ItemStack(<repair item>));

I literally made no other changes except for adding those values tho.

I probably should’ve mentioned that I’m using 1.12.2. Sorry 😐

Is there any other code I should be adding?

Alright, it was a while since I modded in 1.12, but you might have to also override the getIsRepairable method in your armor/tool classes.

Hmmm...that isn't working either. Am I doing this right? I'll provide the code I've added so far. I'll show my Carbon Fiber armor for an example.

Armor Material

public static final ArmorMaterial ARMOR_MATERIAL_CARBON_FIBER = EnumHelper.addArmorMaterial("armor_material_carbon_fiber", Reference.MOD_ID + ":carbon_fiber", 16, new int[] {3, 7, 9, 3}, 10, SoundEvents.ITEM_ARMOR_EQUIP_CHAIN, 0.0F).setRepairItem(new ItemStack(ModItems.CARBON_FIBER_SHEET));

ArmorCarbonFiber class

@Override
	public boolean getIsRepairable(ItemStack toRepair, ItemStack repair)
    {
        if (repair.getItem().equals(ModItems.CARBON_FIBER_SHEET))
        {
        	return true;
        }
        else
        {
        	return false;
        }
    }

And each piece of armor declared in the init class references ArmorCarbonFiber, where that override is. I am extending ItemArmor.

Ok, I’m just a little bit of an idiot lol

I did it just for the armor for testing purposes, and I tested a Carbon Fiber sword...

Haha, no worries, it happens to the best of us! So it is working now after all?

Yes it worked perfectly. Thank you for your help 😊

No problem, glad I could help!
