Frequently asked questions

How do I see the damage stages on my tools?
The visual damage states appear automatically as your tools lose durability during normal gameplay. Simply use your tools to mine, fight, or perform other actions, and you'll notice the model gradually changes to show wear, scratches, and deterioration.
Do I need to do anything special to activate the resource pack?
No special setup is needed beyond enabling the resource pack in your world settings. Once activated, all compatible tools will immediately display their damage states as they take durability loss.
Which tools and weapons get damage visuals?
The pack includes custom damage stages for swords, wooden tools, the mace, shears, and flint and steel. Other tools may also have updated visuals depending on the pack's scope.
Can I tell if a tool is about to break just by looking at it?
Yes, that's the main purpose of this pack. As tools approach their breaking point, the visual damage becomes severe enough that you can see at a glance when durability is nearly gone, without checking the durability bar.
