About this project

What does Gearwise add?

Gearwise

Three small things about the gear you carry, all on your side: a wear column, a guard for tools about to break, and automatic refills.

What it does

  • Wear column at the left of the screen: the uses left on your armour and the tool in your hands, coloured by how worn they are. Toggle it with the key in Controls (Gearwise).
  • Tool guard: a tool or weapon with three uses or fewer left stops swinging until you crouch, so you can mend it instead of losing it. A message says why.
  • Refill: when the last block, torch or arrow of a stack is placed, or a tool breaks, the next one from your inventory takes its slot. Works for the hotbar and the offhand; dropping an item on purpose does not trigger it.
  • Config config/gearwise.json: hud, protectAt (3; 0 turns the guard off), refill.

Needs

  • Minecraft 26.3 (Fabric), or the other versions listed under Files
  • Fabric API on Fabric
  • Client side only
