Durability Minus
by SG143s
Durability Minus makes equipment lose base performance as its durability drops, so a worn tool or weapon weakens in step with its wear.
What it does
Tools lose breaking speed, weapons lose attack damage, armor loses defense, and bows and crossbows lose projectile speed as their durability runs down. Each item sets its own degrade value, so one piece can lose performance faster than another with the same durability loss. Repairing with an anvil or Mending restores the performance along with the durability.
The mod adds two mechanics tied to this. The new Resilience enchantment reduces the performance loss an item suffers. Mending also gets a new rule that it only activates once the player reaches level 30 or above. Durability Minus requires Fabric and is published for 26.1.2 and the other 26.x builds, with 1.21.11 also covered. The code is under the Apache License 2.0, so the source is available to read.
Key features
Performance loss
Breaking speed, attack damage, armor defense and projectile speed fall as an item's durability drops.
Per-item degrade value
Each item carries its own degrade value, so the performance lost per point of durability varies between items.
Resilience enchantment
A new enchantment that softens the performance loss of the item it is applied to.
Level-gated Mending
Mending does not activate until the player reaches level 30 or higher, changing when repair happens.

Use cases
Survival progression
Players who want gear to feel its wear can rely on tools and weapons that visibly weaken before they break.
Enchantment builds
Resilience and the revised Mending give players a way to shape how long their equipment stays effective.
Who it’s for: Players who want equipment to lose strength gradually, and server owners who want that behavior on a shared world. Both sides need the mod, so it is set up on the server and in each player's client.
