All tools in Minecraft have a durability system, where if you run out of durability points, the tool breaks and is gone forever. Imagine going mining with your most powerful pickaxe with the most expensive enchantments. After a while, the pickaxe breaks. You forgot to keep an eye on the durability points remaining and now your pickaxe is gone forever. Such unexpected scenarios can be painful. Durability Guard Mod is here to help you avoid them. As the name suggests, this mod adds a durability guard system, whereby if your tool’s durability goes below a configurable limit, the game prevents you from using the tool anymore. The game even shows a banner that warns you of the low durability. You will now be unable to use the weapon until you repair it.
