Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the durability guard for my tools?
The durability guard is enabled by default when you install the mod. Your tools will automatically stop working when durability drops below the configured threshold, and you'll see a warning banner on your screen.
Can I change when tools get locked?
Yes, you can adjust the durability threshold in the mod's configuration file. This lets you set how low durability needs to go before the tool stops working—some players prefer a higher safety margin than others.
What happens when a tool is locked by durability guard?
A locked tool cannot be used for mining, attacking, or any other action until you repair it. You'll see a warning banner alerting you that the tool is locked, and you can still carry it in your inventory without penalty.
How do I repair a locked tool?
Use the standard Minecraft repair methods: combine it with the appropriate material on a crafting table or anvil, or use a mending enchantment with experience. Once repaired above the threshold, the tool unlocks automatically.
