Don't Break Items
by arcanealloy
Don't Break Items stops tools, armors and weapons from being destroyed by use, leaving them at one durability instead.
What it does
When an item would break, it stays in the inventory with one point of durability left, so it can still be repaired or used once more. The behavior applies to tools, armor and weapons, and Don't Break Items is published for Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.1. Both the server and every player need it, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved, with source code public.
Key features
Items keep one durability
A tool, armor piece or weapon that reaches zero durability is kept at one point instead of breaking.
Covers tools, armor and weapons
The protection applies to tools, armor and weapons alike, so no category of gear is destroyed by use.
Repair still needed
Items at one durability become unusable until they are repaired, which keeps repair a necessary step.
