FYI: Experience orb drops are disabled by default. The mod team more or less banned that vanilla mechanism, so it may be wise to just assume that cannot be used for mod mechanics.

On 'mending' ... there already is a mending mechanic: pay a smith to repair it for you with coin you get while playing. Consider coin as the 'experience orb equivalent' and there you have the exat same mechanic you thought to propose. Nothing new, op af because of the many ways coin can be 'harvested' etcetera, albeit that it's easily available to any player, so ... not really op when considered for pvp only and not for pve. Enjoy.
