Durability Alerts
by keziumo
Durability Alerts warns players when a tool or armor piece drops below 20% durability, so a worn item can be swapped out before it breaks.
What it does
The mod watches item durability while the game runs and sends a real-time alert when an item falls under 20%. Hovering over an item in the inventory shows its current durability as a percentage, which lets a player check gear without opening anything else.
Durability Alerts is a client-side utility, so only the player's own game needs it and a server can run without it. It depends on Fabric API, and it is published for Fabric and Minecraft 1.20.1 only. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
The author describes the mod as a way to keep tools in check during play, in survival worlds and on multiplayer servers where the player can join without the mod on the server side.
Key features
Real-time durability alerts
An alert is shown as soon as an item drops below 20% durability, so the warning arrives during the fight or mining trip.
Percentage on hover
Hovering over an item displays its current durability as a percentage, without a separate command or menu.
Client-side operation
The alerts run entirely in the player's game, so no server installation is involved.

Use cases
Long survival runs
A player working through a long survival world gets a warning before a favorite pickaxe or sword breaks in the middle of a job.
Checking gear before a trip
Hovering over armor or tools shows the remaining durability in percent, so a player can decide what to repair before going out.
Who it’s for: Players on Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric who want a warning before tools and armor wear out. Players on servers can use it alone, since it runs on the client.
How it compares
Horny Alert is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.20.4 under the MIT License and is open source, so it targets a different version. Elytra Alert is a Fabric client-side mod released under the MIT License and open source, with files for 1.21 – 26.3. Durability Alerts covers 1.20.1 only, so a player on another version needs one of these instead.
