Durability Multiplier

"Stop babysitting your tools. Multiply durability or go God Mode — it's just a GameRule away."

---

Introduction

Crafting top-tier Diamond or Netherite gear, enchanting it with Mending and Unbreaking, and grinding hundreds of hours of survival — only to watch your durability bar drain in a single quarry run. Vanilla tool degradation punishes dedication.

Durability Multiplier eliminates equipment burnout under the Instant Gratification design philosophy. Rather than altering item NBT data or breaking save compatibility, it intercepts durability damage at the source using a single lightweight ItemStack.hurtAndBreak Mixin. Every durability drain event is scaled by a server-wide percentage you control — no NBT edits, no world corruption, safe to add or remove at any time.

1 Jar 1 Version Policy: I build 1 dedicated JAR for each Minecraft version (e.g. MC 26.2, MC 26.3). Please download the exact build that matches your Minecraft installation.

Survival World Safe: Safe to add or remove at any time! Gear scales dynamically at runtime; no permanent item NBT or save file changes.

Features

Percentage-Based Durability Scaling

The core mechanic uses integer percentage values:

• 100% — vanilla durability (no change)
• 200% — 2x durability (items last twice as long)
• 400% — 4x durability
• 50% — half durability (items wear faster)
• -1 — Single-Use / Glass Mode (item breaks on first use)

The default is 200% (2x global durability) — a balanced vanilla+ baseline that doubles tool lifespans.

Three Durability Modes Per Category

Mode	GameRule Type	Effect
Percentage (ig:dm_percent_*)	Integer	Scale durability. 100 = vanilla, 200 = 2x, -1 = single-use
Infinity / God Mode (ig:dm_infinity_*)	Boolean	Item never takes damage. Overrides percentage.
Single-Use / Glass Mode (ig:dm_single_use_*)	Boolean	Item breaks on first use. Overrides percentage.

Fine-Grained Category Hierarchy

Control each gear type independently with a clean priority chain: per-item override → sub-type → category group → global fallback.

• Weapons: Swords, Spears, Tridents, Maces, Bows, Crossbows, Shields
• Tools: Pickaxes, Axes, Shovels, Hoes, Shears, Fishing Rods, Brushes, Flint & Steel
• Armor: Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, Boots
• Flight: Elytra

Modded Item Support

Durability Multiplier auto-discovers all damageable modded items from other mods at startup. Each mod item gets its own dynamic GameRules (ig:percent_<namespace>_<path>, ig:infinity_<namespace>_<path>, ig:single_use_<namespace>_<path>), giving you per-item surgical control over every modded tool and weapon.

Durability Tooltip

An optional in-game tooltip displays the active multiplier or mode label on every affected item. Toggle with ig:dm_show_tooltip. Display format is configurable: ADAPTIVE (auto-switches between Nx and %), PERCENTAGE, or MULTIPLIER.

Optional Config GUI

Install ModMenu + YetAnotherConfigLib (optional, not required) for a full in-game config screen without editing JSON files.
