Netherite Extended

by BiltuDas1

Netherite Extended changes how Netherite armor wears down, so pieces are no longer lost in ordinary play, and it runs server-side on Fabric.

FabricServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source26.1 – 26.2

What it does

Netherite armor takes damage at a reduced rate: durability drops by one point for each unit of incoming damage above one. Damage from most sources is absorbed this way, with the exceptions of the world border and cramming by entities, which still apply as usual. A Netherite armor piece cannot break completely; like an Elytra, it stops at one remaining durability point.

The mod supports durability customization through ModMenu, so server owners and players can adjust the durability settings in a configuration screen. It is a server required mod with optional client support: the server needs it to apply the new behavior, while clients may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric only, across 26.1 – 26.2, with 1.5.0 for 26.2 as the latest build from 2026-09-06. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Reduced armor wear

    Netherite armor loses one durability point per unit of damage above one, which slows how quickly the set is used up.

  2. Armor that stays intact

    A Netherite armor piece stops at one durability point instead of breaking, similar to how Elytra behaves.

  3. Broad damage absorption

    Netherite armor absorbs damage from nearly all sources, excluding the world border and entity cramming.

  4. Durability customization

    Durability values can be changed through a ModMenu configuration screen.

Use cases

Long survival worlds

Players who keep the same Netherite gear for a long time avoid losing a set of armor to ordinary wear.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want Netherite armor to wear down more slowly, and players on those servers who prefer a sturdier kit.

How it compares

Full comparison

No Tool Durability is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 26.1.2 – 26.2, so it covers tools rather than armor. Armor Durability Color is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and built for 26.2, so it changes how durability is displayed rather than how it is spent.

Questions

Does Netherite Extended need ModMenu?

ModMenu is only needed for the durability customization screen. The mod itself runs without it, and the server required setup does not depend on it.

Which loader does Netherite Extended use?

The mod is published for Fabric only. Files cover 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.5.0 as the latest build for 26.2.

Does Netherite Extended have to be installed on the client?

No. Only the server needs the mod for its effects to apply, and a player may still join with or without it installed.
