This is really awesome, it allows you to repair items without even needing to get their materials, like diamonds, which means it eliminates the need to constantly go to the deep mine, like the mending enchantment would in other games.
Speaking of repairing, it's a really cool process; you put your item on the anvil, which actually visibly places it, grab the hammer, and hit it a few times. During that, you can even see the bar appear on your HUD indicating the durability of the tool, or the particles coming out of the anvil. Then, you grab your item and you're ready. No boring menus or anything, but just a really nice and interactive process!
And guess what? You can already get the anvil, just for 7 steel ingots, instead of the approach other games take for tons of steel blocks. The hammer is similar; 6 ingots and a stick.
Overall, it's a really good mod, really functional and nice, with improvements compared to minecraft-like anvils (like in voxelibre/mineclone2).
Edit: Tip: You can even repair a hammer using a hammer, which basically makes them last forever, because e.g. you can use almost broken hammer 1 to repair the similar hammer 2 and then use hammer 2 to repair hammer 1 and you have almost full durability on them again! You can also disable that in the settings, if you feel like it is too cheaty.
