Durability Damage Recipe

by Dented Modding

Durability Damage Recipe lets crafting recipes damage the tools placed in them instead of consuming them, for Fabric players on 1.21.1 – 1.21.8.

What it does

Dented Modding's Durability Damage Recipe adds two recipe types, durabilitydamagerecipe:crafting damage shaped and durabilitydamagerecipe:crafting damage shapeless, which work like the vanilla shaped and shapeless recipe types but accept an additional damage parameter. The damage value defaults to 1 and sets how much durability each damageable input loses during a craft. A recipe can only be used when the input item has more remaining durability than the damage it would take.

The recipe types are meant to be used from data packs. The mod ships example recipe.json files for 1.21.1 and for 1.21.4 and 1.21.5, and the damage a tool takes is reduced by its enchantments such as Unbreaking. Crafter blocks can eject damageable items after a craft, and the mod shows durability notifications when a Crafter runs recipes. It is published for Fabric only, in 1.21.8-1.0.1 for 1.21.8, and it needs Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional and opens an in-game configuration screen.

The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its files cover 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.7 and 1.21.8, and the code is under the MIT License. The source is not open source under the license terms used by this listing.

Key features

  1. Damage-based shaped recipes

    A shaped recipe type accepts a damage parameter, so a tool in the grid loses durability when the recipe completes.

  2. Damage-based shapeless recipes

    A shapeless variant follows the same rule, letting tools in any grid position take the damage value.

  3. Crafter block ejection

    Damageable items are returned from a Crafter block after it performs a craft, so the tool is not lost.

  4. Configurable notifications

    Durability notifications for Crafter blocks can be turned on or off, and the mod's options open through Mod Menu.

  5. Example recipes included

    Example recipe.json files show a shovel trading some durability for flint in a craft, with the tool returned afterward.

What the author says

An example usage would be a recipe to craft gravel with a shovel to get flint, returning the shovel with some durability loss. The durability damage taken by an item is currently not affected by the item's enchantments, like Unbreaking.
