NoTollBreak
NoTollBreak warns players before a tool, armor piece or Elytra runs out of durability, so a Netherite pickaxe is not lost unnoticed.
What it does
The mod tracks the durability of tools, armor and Elytra in real time and shows an alert as an item approaches the point where it would break. Players set their own durability thresholds in the in-game settings menu, so the warning arrives at the level they choose rather than a fixed one. Separate settings are kept for tools, armor and Elytra.
Alerts can be recoloured and shown in more than one display mode, which lets the warning match the existing HUD. Fabric API is required. NoTollBreak is a client-side only mod: only the client needs it, and a server can run without it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, and files exist for 1.21.11 only.
Key features
Real-time durability tracking
Durability is checked continuously for held tools, worn armor and an equipped Elytra.
Custom thresholds
Each player sets the durability level at which an alert appears, with values kept apart for tools, armor and Elytra.
Alert colors and display modes
The color of the warning and the way it is displayed can be changed in the settings menu.
Instant notice before breakage
The alert appears before an item vanishes, and the break sound no longer plays as a surprise.
