Till it Breaks
by Schauweg
Till it Breaks shows how much durability an item has left, so a tool's wear is visible before it breaks.
What it does
The mod draws a durability bar and a durability number on items that can wear down. The bar can be shown always, or only on damaged items, and it can be hidden entirely. Each option has its own setting, so players can keep the bar on tools and hide it on armor, or any other mix they prefer.
Since the display is drawn on the item itself, the state of a tool can be read in the inventory, in the hotbar and while holding it. Options cover the colour of the number, which can change with the amount of damage, the size of the text, and whether the arrow counter on bows and crossbows is shown. Players can adjust the look of these options in the mod's configuration screen.
Till it Breaks is a client-side only mod, so only the player needs it and servers run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source; its source code is public. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings screen. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, with 0.5-1.20.2 as the latest file for both loaders, covering 1.19.2 – 1.20.2 across five releases.
Key features
Item durability bar
A bar on each damageable item shows how much durability is left, with options to always show it or show it only when damaged.
Durability number
The remaining durability can be shown as a number instead of a bar, with a colour that changes with the amount of damage.
Arrow counter
Bows and crossbows display the number of arrows they hold, and the counter can be switched off.
Customizable options
Each display choice and the text size can be changed, so the item display follows the player's preference.

What the author says
This mod displays the durability that is left of items on the items itself. By using this mod you'll always know when your tool is about to break. A nice little feature is also the functionality of displaying your current arrow amount on the bow and crossbow item.
