RME's Durability Tooltips
by RME
RME's Durability Tooltips shows the remaining durability of items as a tooltip line, and its colours can be customised.
What it does
Hovering over an item in the inventory shows how much durability it has left. The tooltip is simple and can be adjusted, including the colour used to display the value, so it stays readable against different backgrounds and resource packs.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing it. It requires Fabric API, and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) is optional for the settings screen. The code is open source under the MIT License, and it was forked from Durability Plus by ddeeddii and reworked into a more polished version. Because the two mods do the same job, running both is not recommended. Builds are published for 1.20.6 – 1.21.8, with 2.2.4 for 1.21.8 as the latest Fabric file.
Key features
Durability tooltips
Item durability is written into the tooltip so players can check tools and armour without opening another screen.
Customisable colours
The colour used for the durability value can be changed to suit the player's interface and visibility needs.
Small footprint
The mod is kept lightweight and avoids complicated logic, adding only the tooltip line it displays.
Optional settings screen
With YetAnotherConfigLib installed, the options can be edited in a settings screen instead of a config file.

How it compares
ToolDurabilityHUD is client-side only and targets Fabric for 26.2, under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Effective Durability is also client-side only, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and open source, with Fabric files for 1.20.4 – 1.20.6. Durability Plus is open source under the MIT License, is client-side only, and has Fabric files covering 1.16.5 – 1.21.11. This mod is the polished fork of Durability Plus, so the two overlap in function.

What the author says
This was originally a fork of ddeeddii's Durability Plus under the MIT license, iterating on it and making it more polished. Due to fulfilling the exact same function, it's not recommended having both mods installed.
