Tooldurability
by Lisl_King
Tooldurability warns players when a tool's durability runs low, so a pickaxe or sword is not lost in the middle of a task.
What it does
The mod watches the durability of tools and sends a notice as they wear down, giving the player a clear signal before a tool breaks. Players can replace or repair an item while it still works, which keeps important moments in a run from ending on an unexpected break. It runs on the client alone, so the server does not need it and players install it only for their own game. Builds exist for Forge on 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, released under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Low durability warning
A message appears when a tool's durability drops low, before the tool is destroyed.
Early notice before breakage
The notice comes ahead of the final use, so the player can swap in a spare tool in time.
Fewer accidental losses
Tools are less likely to break unnoticed during long mining trips or fights.
