How to Check Item Durability on Tools and Weapons

Viewing Durability in Your Inventory

Dynamic Tooltips Mod displays the durability of your gear directly within the game's hover tooltips, removing the guesswork from tracking item wear.

1. Open your inventory screen by pressing your inventory key (E by default).

2. Move your cursor over any damageable item, such as a sword, pickaxe, axe, mace, or piece of armor.

3. Read the tooltip box that appears next to your cursor. In addition to standard details like enchantments, the tooltip now displays the item's remaining durability.

Checking Gear During Gameplay

You do not need to open full container screens to inspect items. You can view durability information while browsing your hotbar in open menus, checking chests, or interacting with crafting stations. If you hold an enchanted weapon—such as a Netherite axe or a sword—the durability information integrates cleanly alongside existing enchantment descriptions so you can monitor equipment health before heading into combat or mining sessions.
