Unified Durability Tweaks
by WeberFly
Unified Durability Tweaks changes how fast equipped gear loses durability on Fabric servers, through a configurable chance and cap per loss event.
What it does
Instead of changing the stats of swords, axes or armor, the mod hooks into each durability loss as it occurs and applies two settings: how often a loss takes place and the largest amount of durability one event can remove. Weapons, tools, armor and shields are all covered, and a configuration file is generated automatically on first launch.
The mod is lightweight, with minimal performance overhead, and is meant for both vanilla-plus play and large modpacks. Vanilla enchantments such as Unbreaking and Mending keep their usual behavior, since the rules stay simple and predictable. Equipment lasts noticeably longer on average while the rest of the game mechanics stay as they are. Only the server needs the mod; clients running the mod are not required, and players join without installing anything.
Files are published for Fabric across 11 game versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 2.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest alpha-channel build. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Configurable loss chance
A probability setting controls how often an equipped item takes durability damage at all.
Capped loss per event
A maximum durability value limits how much one durability event can remove from an item.
Broad item coverage
Weapons, tools, armor pieces and shields all follow the same durability rules.
Vanilla enchantments kept
Unbreaking and Mending continue to work as they do in vanilla, because the mod leaves item attributes unchanged.
