Durability Guard
This client mod stops you from mining when your tool has low durability. Free Minecraft Java mod for 26.2, 26.3-snapshot-1.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
DurabilityGuard
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.
| 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. |
