Durability Helper
Never lose your favorite tools to durability again! Durability Helper is a lightweight client-side mod that displays real-time durability warnings for your tools, weapons, and armor directly on your HUD. No more accidentally breaking that perfectly enchanted pickaxe!
Features
Smart Warning System: Get visual alerts when your items reach critical durability levels
- 🔴 Red Alert (Below 15% durability)
Clean HUD Display: Non-intrusive warning text positioned on top of the health bar
- Compact, scaled text that doesn't clutter your screen
- Durability counter shows exactly how many uses remain
Real-time Updates: Warnings update every second, keeping you informed without spam
Client-Side Only:
- Works on any server, even vanilla ones!
- No server installation required
- Other players aren't affected by your choice to use this mod
How It Works
Simply hold any damageable item and Durability Helper will automatically monitor its condition. When durability drops into the warning zones, you'll see:
⚠ Warning: Iron Pickaxe durability (30/250)
The warning disappears when you switch to a healthy tool or repair the damaged one.
