Frequently asked questions

How do I know when my tool is about to break?
As your tool loses durability, its texture will show visible damage like cracks and wear marks progressing through multiple stages. When durability drops below ten percent, the tool will flash bright white as a critical warning that it's nearly broken.
Do diamond and netherite tools look different when damaged?
Yes, diamond tools show fractured edges and heavy wear patterns as they degrade, while netherite tools display visible wear across their dark surfaces. Additionally, netherite tools flash red specifically when they reach one percent durability for an extra critical alert.
Does this pack work with OptiFine or do I need mods?
This resource pack works directly in vanilla Minecraft without requiring OptiFine or any additional mods—it only changes textures, so it's fully compatible with the base game.
What tools and items does this pack change?
The pack includes texture changes for pickaxes, axes, shovels, swords, hoes, shears, flint and steel, and fishing rods across all material tiers.
