Anti Tool Break

The mod watches tools that a player has filtered as precious and blocks actions that would break them. Once a filtered item reaches a configurable durability value, attacking, block breaking and interacting with the item are cancelled. Sneaking can bypass the protection when a player needs to finish the job. Gold, diamond and netherite tools and enchanted tools above a durability threshold are kept by default, and the configuration can change which items fall under the rule.

Materials are sorted into wood, stone, iron, gold, diamond and netherite, and any other item made of those materials is covered too, for example flint and steel. Enchanted and non-enchanted items can be handled separately, so a player can protect enchanted gear without guarding every plain tool. The rules apply on the client alone, which means servers do not need the mod and the behavior is only a local safeguard.

The mod is published for Fabric, with builds covering 1.17 – 26.1.2 and the latest file for 26.1.2. It requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, while Mod Menu is optional and gives access to the configuration screen. The license is Apache License 2.0, and the code is open source.
