Keep My Sword
by THE_cattail
Keep My Sword stops a tool or weapon from vanishing when its durability runs out, leaving it in the inventory in a broken state that can be repaired.
What it does
Normally a sword, pickaxe or other damageable item is destroyed once its durability reaches zero. With this mod installed, the item stays in the inventory as an unusable copy, and an anvil or repair recipe can restore it. Items listed in the sword:excluded item tag are left out of this behavior. The mod depends on RinLib, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Items remain after break
A tool that reaches zero durability stays in the inventory instead of disappearing.
Repairable broken items
Broken items keep their unusable state until they are repaired, so the work put into them is not lost.
Excluded item tag
Items in the sword:excluded tag are ignored by the mod and break as normal.
