Damageless Handle│不損壞握柄

Name: Damageless Handle│不損壞握柄
Author: Special_TT

When a tool breaks, Damageless Handle gives the player back the handle materials needed to craft it again, so a worn tool does not vanish without a trace.

What it does

Damageless Handle watches for tools that break in use and returns the sticks, strings or ingots that the tool's recipe needs for its handle. The player keeps the crafting cost of the handle, while the head still wears out as normal. Each tool family follows its own handle recipe, so swords, brushes, axes, hoes, shovels, pickaxes and spears return two sticks, while fishing rods return three sticks and maces return a breeze rod. The mod changes server-side behavior only, so a server that runs it is enough for players to receive the returned materials. Bows return three strings, crossbows return two strings and an iron ingot.

The server must run the mod, while players may add it without any change to what they see; either way, the mod needs a server to take effect. The first public release dates from 2024-12-01 and the latest update, for 1.21.11, from 2026-04-23.

Key features

Handle materials returned
When a tool breaks, the sticks, strings or ingots used for its handle are given back to the player.
Per-tool handle recipes
Each tool type returns the materials its own recipe uses, so a sword and a fishing rod return different items.
Head still wears out
Only the handle cost is restored, so the tool head still breaks after its durability runs out.
Covers many tool types
Swords, brushes, axes, hoes, shovels, pickaxes, spears, fishing rods, maces, bows and crossbows are all handled.

Questions

Does Damageless Handle need to be installed on the client?

No. Players may skip it, since only the server has to run the mod for the returned materials to appear.

Which loader should a server use?

Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt all have files for 1.21 – 1.21.11. A Data pack option is also available for servers that do not use a mod loader.

Does the mod return the head of a broken tool?

No. Only the handle materials are returned, and the tool head still breaks once its durability runs out.
