Repair Gear Durability After Deaths

Understand Durability Damage

When Better Keep Inventory Plugin damages your armor and tools after death, you don't lose the items—they just take durability hits. This means you'll eventually need to repair them at an anvil or crafting table.

The plugin reduces durability instead of destroying gear outright, so your enchanted diamond pickaxe survives death but needs maintenance. This creates a resource cost without permanent loss.

Plan for Repair Costs

As you die repeatedly, your gear accumulates damage. You'll need:

• Anvils to repair tools and armor
• Crafting materials to mend items (if using Mending enchantment)
• Experience levels to pay anvil repair costs

This penalty encourages players to avoid dying while keeping their best gear accessible. Over time, repairing damaged equipment becomes part of your resource management, similar to maintaining hunger or managing experience.

Consider keeping repair materials in your base so you're prepared after deaths.
