I recently got my hands on the Crooked Moon Source Books and it got me wondering if the Mending spell could be used as a healing spell on the construct races in it.
(And yes, I'm aware the post title is messed up. Stupid autocorrect.)
No, unless the species in the book have a trait saying otherwise.
Mending can only affect objects, not creatures. Constructs are a creature type.
Some creatures have traits that explicitly say they can regain hit points through the casting of Mending, but that's an explicit exception.

I remember that, for example, the Nimblewright, from Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, has the trait Davyd mentioned.
EDIT: Warmagus1983, you can still update the title.EDIT2: some slightly related threads:
- How can a Threadborn heal?- New Healing Spells (Works on anything?) - Does healing magic/potions harm undead creatures?
