NoItemBreak

by ecourty

NoItemBreak stops a tool or weapon from being used up when its durability reaches a critical level, and it is a client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11.

What it does

When an item in the main hand reaches 1 durability, NoItemBreak blocks the action that would destroy it, whether that is an attack, a block being mined or an item being used. A warning appears in the action bar so the player knows the item is about to break. Out of the box, the mod guards diamond and netherite gear: swords, pickaxes, axes, shovels and hoes made from either material are all covered without any setup.

The list of protected items can be changed. It can be edited with slash commands during play or through an in-game configuration screen opened from the Mods menu, where the Mods entry for NoItemBreak leads to the same settings. Changes are saved and remain in place between sessions, so the list does not need to be set again after a restart.

The mod only needs to be installed on the client, because it works on the player's own side and the server does not have to run it. Its files are published for Fabric alone, for the single game version 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 as the latest file. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki.

Key features

  1. Durability guard

    Attacks, mining and item use are blocked once the item in the main hand is down to 1 durability.

  2. Protected item list

    A configurable list names which items are shielded, and diamond and netherite tools and weapons are included by default.

  3. Slash commands

    Commands add and remove items from the protected list while the game is running, without leaving the world.

  4. Action bar warning

    A message in the action bar appears when an item reaches critically low durability, before the protection takes effect.

  5. Saved configuration

    Settings persist between sessions, and an optional in-game screen through ModMenu offers the same controls.

Use cases

Questions

Does NoItemBreak need to be installed on the server?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

Which items are protected by default?

Diamond and netherite swords, pickaxes, axes, shovels and hoes are protected by default. The list can be changed with commands or the configuration screen.

Does the protection save between game sessions?

Yes. The configuration persists between sessions, so the protected list stays the same after the game is closed and reopened.
