Stop Breaking Tools
by HoshiYouta
Stop Breaking Tools keeps a tool from being used once its durability falls to a set low threshold, so it is not destroyed by accident.
What it does
When a tool's remaining durability drops to a configurable critical level, the mod blocks its use in attacks and block breaking, so the tool is not lost. A warning sound and an action bar message announce that the tool is close to breaking. The threshold and the protection options are set in an in-game configuration menu, and the mod runs on Fabric for 1.21.11 with Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu required.

Warning sound and message
