About this project

What does Durability Guard add?

DurabilityGuard

Modrinth

What it does

DurabilityGuard is a highly configurable Minecraft mod that stops you from using a tool when it reaches a certain durability threshold and thus prevents it from breaking.

Keybind

You can toggle the mod on and off using the Toggle keybind in the Durability Guard category in the keybinds menu. By default, this keybind is not bound to any key, so you will need to set it up manually.

Configuration

You can open the in-game configuration menu by running the /durabilityguard command in the chat.

configuration screen
Option Default Description
Minimum Percentage 10 The minimum durability percentage a tool must have to be used if Limit type is set to PERCENTAGE or BOTH.
Minimum Durability 30 The minimum durability a tool must have to be used if Limit type is set to DURABILITY or BOTH.
Active true Whether the mod is currently active.
Limit Type PERCENTAGE The type of limit to apply. Can be set to PERCENTAGE, DURABILITY, or BOTH.
Ignore unenchanted items false If true, unenchanted items will be ignored by the mod and can always be used regardless of their durability.
Use ignored items as whitelist false If true, items in Ignored items will be treated as a whitelist, meaning items that are not in the list can always be used regardless of their durability.
Ignored items [] A list of items that will be ignored by the mod (if Use ignored items as whitelist is true, see description above). The items are specified by their item ID, which can be found in the game by hovering over the item in the inventory and looking at the tooltip. For example, minecraft:diamond_pickaxe for a diamond pickaxe. The * placeholder can be used to match any item of a certain type, e.g. minecraft:stone_* will match all stone tools.
