Honestly tho it makes more sense
Repairing Netherite

but then it would take a lot of scraps otherwise everyone would just spam scraps
I think maybe it will work like this: You can use both. An ingot is 4 scraps, but harder to get. So to make it fair, a scrap should repair less. An ingot repairs about 1/4 of the durability. Maybe a scrap should be 1/5? then you would need 5 scraps to repair it to full, but it's good if you're low on gold, or if you just need a small repair

No, that would not work at all, as netherite ingots requires 4 scraps. 16 scraps + 16 gold does NOT equal 5 scraps. Netherite ingots requires 4 gold as well, so a scrap would probably be worth 4 gold. A scrap should worth like 1/5 of a netherite ingot. This should be 20 scraps. Would you want that?

But Netherite Scarps are more important than gold?

That's why he said 1/5 of the value and not 1/4.
I know that netherite gear is repaired with netherite ingots. But I feel like it would make more sense, and be a lot easier if netherite gear were repaired with netherite scraps. Thoughts?
