@phnt @hj @druid Say whatever you want but I love mending. Administering non-renewable resources was the least fun part of minecraft and it completely fixed it, I can now use the fastest tool forever instead of carrying several cheaper ones for lower tier blocks.

Villagers are optional though. You can just lock them in solitary forever or lava their villages and progress like it's still the beta. I enjoy building cities around my castles and then never interacting with my big nosed vassals.
