Durability Alarm
by Quexos
Durability Alarm gives Fabric players an alarm that sounds when a chosen item drops below a durability threshold they set.
What it does
Players pick any item in the game, set a durability threshold for it, and the alarm plays once the item falls under that value. Each item can have its own threshold, so armor, tools and weapons can warn at different points. Players choose the item either by browsing the item list or by selecting the item they are holding, and the alarm can also highlight the item or its background in a chosen color while it is active.
When the alarm triggers, the mod can show a custom message in the action bar, as a title or subtitle, or in chat, and each display can be turned on or off. The message color can be picked, and a typewriter animation can reveal the text. A loudness slider controls the volume, and the settings tab collects these options in one place. The interface is meant for a GUI scale of 2, which the author recommends, and it is described as working at a scale of 3 or below.
The mod includes nine sounds made for it, which use vanilla sound events rather than bundled files. Players can also upload their own sounds in the OGG format by placing them in a folder the launcher provides. The author marks the mod as in development and notes that it may still be buggy. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it, and it is for Fabric on 1.21.11 only, with a single file dated 2026-08-07 and released under All rights reserved.

How it compares
Durability Tooltip is client-side only, released under All rights reserved, and this catalog lists its only version for 1.21.10, with no 1.21.11 file. Rival's Durability is client-side only, released under All rights reserved, and covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric. ArmorAlert is client-side only, licensed under the MIT License, and built for 1.21.11 on Fabric and Quilt, so it covers armor alone in the same version as this mod.
