About this Mod
This mod changes tool durability by preventing tools from breaking and disappearing. Instead, tools become unusable when their durability is depleted and must be repaired before they can be used again.
Is development active: NO
(This was to test out modding minecraft)
Key Features:
- Unusable Broken Tools: Tools stop functioning when durability hits zero but remain in your inventory for repair.
- Custom Notifications: Alerts to notify players of broken tools or near broken.
- Event-Specific Behavior: Broken tools can't mine, interact with blocks, or have reduced attack damage.
- Repair Mechanics: Tools with more than 1 durability can be used again after repair.
- Crouch to ingore: If the player crouches you ignore the tool being broken and it breaks fully.
Todo:
- Known mod that's unsupported:
- Axes Are Weapons
- Dyanmic Trees
- Mod Support: I might add mod support later (I havn't tested if it works with mods that use items that use durability for cooldowns and such.
This mod is still in early development and may change or not be worked on idk.
