About this project

What does Durability Alert add?

Durability Alert

Never accidentally break your favorite tools again. Durability Alert tracks the
durability of your tools, weapons, and armor in real time — and warns you before
it's too late.

Features

🔔 Smart Warnings

Get notified the moment your item crosses a durability threshold. By default the
mod alerts you at 50%, 25%, 10%, 5%, 1%, and when only 1 durability remains
— but you can set your own thresholds in the config.

📍 Flexible Output

Choose where the warning appears:

  • Chat — a styled message with the item name and remaining durability
  • Action Bar — a quick heads-up above your hotbar without cluttering chat
  • Both — why not

🛡️ Armor Tracking

Enable armor monitoring to get warned when your helmet, chestplate, leggings,
or boots are wearing out. All four slots are tracked independently.

🖥️ HUD Display

Show live durability info above the hotbar. Fully customizable:

  • Item icon next to the durability readout
  • Progress bar with color that shifts from white → orange → red
  • Multiple text formats: 125/251, 125, 125/251 (50%), 125 (50%)
  • Offhand item support
  • Armor row with icons for all four slots
  • Adjustable X/Y position

🔊 Sound Alerts

Plays a sound when a threshold is crossed. Choose from:

  • Note Block Pling, Note Block Bell, Item Break, or Anvil Land
  • Adjustable volume (0–100%)

⚙️ In-Game Config

All settings are accessible in-game via Mod Menu — no config file editing needed.


Supported Versions

Pick the build that matches your Minecraft version — same features across all of them:

Minecraft Java Notes
26.2 25 Latest
26.1.x 25
1.21.1-1.21.11 21
1.20.1-1.20.6 17

On 1.21.1-1.21.11 and 1.20.1-1.20.6, any breakable held item (tools, weapons, bows, fishing rods,
shears, etc.) is tracked in the hand, since those versions lack the newer item
data components.
