WBI-warning broken items

by brel0k

WBI (Warning Broken Items) is a Fabric client mod that warns players before equipped tools, weapons, armor and elytra break.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21.11

What it does

Warnings trigger when an item's durability drops to a configurable threshold, set anywhere from 1 to 500 in a simple settings menu. A special message appears when an item is completely broken, and a damage key lets players test the notifications. The interface is kept minimal and unobtrusive, and the menu is available in Russian and English.

For elytra, the mod checks the firework count during flight and gives a notice after two fireworks are used, once the count reaches 10. It also tracks the durability of the worn elytra and sends a warning before it breaks in the air. When a damaged item has the Mending enchantment, the mod suggests repairing it instead of replacing it. Players who run it on Fabric 1.21.11 get the full set of checks.

Key features

  1. Durability warnings

    Low-durability tools, weapons and armor trigger a notification once they reach the chosen threshold.

  2. Elytra firework tracking

    The count of fireworks used on an elytra flight is tracked, with a notice after two fireworks and at a count of 10.

  3. Automatic item switching

    The mod detects when a player swaps items and follows the new one automatically, so warnings stay on the item in use.

  4. Repair recommendations

    Damaged items that carry the Mending enchantment are flagged with a suggestion to repair them.

How it compares

Full comparison

Low Durability Warning is an open source Fabric client mod under the MIT License, also for 1.21.11, and it covers durability warnings only. Elytra Auto Equip is a client mod for Fabric, under the MIT License and not open source, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.5, so it does not cover the 1.21.11 release that WBI targets. Smart Armor Repair is a server-side Fabric mod under All rights reserved, so it needs no client install but also does not provide client-side warnings.
