Durability Notifier

by Mrbysco

Durability Notifier warns a player when a held tool drops below a chosen share of its durability, using a message, a sound or a potion effect.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.12.2 – 26.3

What it does

Once a tool falls under the configured percentage of its maximum durability, the mod can show a message in the chat, play a sound or apply mining fatigue. The percentage is set between 1 and 100, and the default is 10. Warnings fire during the checks that run while a player uses the tool, so the player learns about low durability before the item breaks. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge and is published for 1.12.2 – 26.3 across 31 release versions.

The install needs Fabric API on Fabric, and Forge Config API Port on Forge and NeoForge. Curios API is optional. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source repository and issue tracker are public.

Settings are kept in the instance's config folder and can be changed from the in-game configuration menu, so a player does not have to edit files by hand. The mod stays on the vanilla side of the game and does not add any server-side logic. The latest Fabric and NeoForge files target 26.3, and the latest Forge file is 1.6.4 for 1.20.1.

Key features

  1. Durability threshold

    The warning starts when a tool reaches the chosen percentage of its maximum durability, with 10 percent as the default.

  2. Chat message

    A message can appear in the chat when a tool is low, and its color is set in the configuration, with yellow as the default.

  3. Sound alert

    A sound can play when the player tries to use a low tool, with its location and volume set in the configuration.

  4. Mining fatigue

    An optional mining fatigue effect stops the player from breaking the tool by accident, and it is disabled by default.

  5. In-game configuration

    Every option is available from the in-game configuration menu, with a short explanation of each setting.

How it compares

Full comparison

Durability Tooltip is client-side only and shows durability in the item tooltip, but its code is not open source and it is published under All rights reserved. Mod Sound Volume Options is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, covering 1.16.4 – 26.2, but it adjusts mod sound volumes and does not warn about durability. Pick Up Notifier needs the client and is optional on the server, and it is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

Questions

Does Durability Notifier need Fabric API?

Yes on Fabric, where Fabric API is required. On Forge and NeoForge the required dependency is Forge Config API Port instead.

Does a server need Durability Notifier?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

Can the warning be turned off for some tools?

The configuration lets the player choose the threshold, the message color, the sound and the mining fatigue option, so each part can be disabled on its own.
