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.
Requirements
- Fabric Loader — 0.19.3+ on 26.x, 0.15+ on 1.20.1-1.20.6 / 1.21.1-1.21.11
- Fabric API
- Cloth Config
- Mod Menu (optional, for in-game config screen)
