How to Recognize and Respond to Durability Guard Warnings

The Low Durability Banner

When using tools and weapons, it is easy to lose track of remaining durability points during intense combat or long mining runs. Durability Guard Mod actively monitors your equipment to ensure you do not destroy your gear by accident. When your active tool or weapon reaches a low durability threshold, the game alerts you by displaying a warning banner on your screen.

This banner serves as an immediate visual indicator that your item is critically close to breaking. Keep an eye out for this prompt whenever you are performing repetitive tasks like strip mining or fighting waves of hostile mobs.

What to Do When a Tool Locks

Once the banner appears and the guard limit is reached, the mod engages its safety mechanism:

1. The game immediately prevents you from using the affected tool or weapon.

2. Attempting to swing, mine, or strike will no longer trigger the item's standard actions.

3. Put the locked tool away into your inventory to avoid wasting attack or harvest attempts.

4. Switch to a backup tool or weapon to finish your current task safely.

Because the item is prevented from performing actions, it cannot deplete its final durability points. Your valuable item will remain safely in your inventory without risk of vanishing.
