DuraPing
by alazso
Before a tool, piece of armor or elytra wears out, DuraPing notifies the player through a chat line, a sound, a flash on the screen or a short hotbar toast.
What it does
DuraPing watches durability on the main hand, offhand and armor slots and reports when an item runs low. Each item warns once when it crosses a downward threshold, and the warning re-arms only after the item recovers, with a configurable hysteresis. Warn, danger and critical tiers default to 25%, 10% and 5%, each with its own color, cooldown and optional custom sound with subtitle support.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join a server that lacks it. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional for an in-game config screen. Without Mod Menu and Cloth Config, the config file can be edited directly on NeoForge. Files cover 26.1.2, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11 and are released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, as open source code.
Key features
Multi-tier thresholds
Warn, danger and critical tiers each have their own threshold, color and cooldown, all adjustable in the config.
Alert channels
Alerts can go to chat, sound, a low-opacity screen vignette or a hotbar toast, and each channel can be enabled separately.
Per-item overrides
Thresholds can differ for specific items such as elytra, netherite pickaxes or anything else keyed by item ID.
Activity-aware mode
During continuous activity such as long mining sessions, the warn and danger cooldowns stretch so alerts do not spam the player.
