No Repair Durability Penalty

No Repair Durability Penalty

by Traktool

utility

Modifies the vanilla repair kit so that repairing items no longer reduces their maximum durability. A simple quality-of-life change that lets you maintain your favorite gear indefinitely.

No Repair Durability Penalty removes the maximum durability loss that normally occurs when using repair kits in Hytale.

What It Does

In vanilla Hytale, repairing an item with a repair kit restores its durability but permanently reduces its maximum durability. Over time, this means even your best gear becomes weaker and eventually needs to be replaced.

This mod changes that behavior. With No Repair Durability Penalty installed, using the standard repair kit fully restores item durability without any maximum durability penalty.

What It Does NOT Do

  • Does NOT add new repair kits
  • Does NOT add any new items
  • Does NOT change crafting recipes
  • Only modifies how the existing vanilla repair kit works

Features

  • Full durability restoration without max durability loss
  • Keeps all vanilla repair costs, UI, sounds, and animations
  • Server-side only (no client mod required)
  • Lightweight and performance-friendly
  • Fully compatible with existing repair mechanics

Installation (Early Plugin Required)

This mod must be loaded as an Early Plugin because it modifies core repair logic that initializes very early during game startup.

Server Installation

  1. Download the mod file
  2. Place the .jar file in ServerRoot/EarlyPlugins
  3. Add --accept-early-plugins to your server launch arguments
  4. Start or restart the server

Singleplayer Installation

  1. Download the mod file
  2. Place the .jar file in GameRoot/UserData/EarlyPlugins
  3. Start or restart the game

No additional configuration is required.

Technical Details

The mod uses Mixin to patch the repair logic at runtime. This ensures the modification happens before any repair systems are used while keeping everything else about repairs (costs, UI, sounds, animations) completely intact.

Why Use This Mod

  • Keep your favorite weapons and tools indefinitely
  • No more grinding for replacement gear
  • Maintain named or rare items without degradation
  • Quality-of-life improvement for long-term worlds

No Repair Durability Penalty is perfect for players who want to invest in their gear without worrying about it slowly becoming unusable.
