Phamms Durability Tooltip Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I see durability numbers in my inventory?
Once the mod is installed, hover over any tool, weapon, or armor piece in your inventory and look at the tooltip—the durability will display as a fraction (current/maximum) or as a percentage, depending on your mod settings.
Does the durability tooltip work on enchanted tools?
Yes, the mod displays durability for any item that has durability, including enchanted tools and armor; the enchantment information and durability appear together in the tooltip.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, this is a client-side only mod, so you don't need the server to have it installed—it works on any vanilla or modded server without compatibility issues.
Why can't I see durability on some items?
Items without durability (like blocks, food, or stackable tools) won't display a durability value; the mod only shows durability for items that actually have it.
Does this mod slow down my game?
No, this is a lightweight utility mod with minimal performance impact—it only adds information to tooltips and doesn't affect rendering or tick speed.
How do I know when to repair a tool instead of making a new one?
Use the durability tooltip to check how much durability remains; if the tool is close to breaking and you have repair materials available, repair it; otherwise, crafting a new tool may be more efficient depending on your resources.
Can I see durability for items in other players' hands or on the ground?
No, the mod only displays durability in tooltips when you hover over items in your own inventory, containers, or crafting screens.
Does the durability display update in real-time while I'm mining?
Yes, when you open your inventory or hover over the tool in your hotbar, the tooltip updates to show the current durability after mining damage.
Will this mod work with armor durability?
Yes, the mod displays durability for all armor pieces just like tools, so you can check helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots durability before heading into combat.
Does this mod work in creative mode?
The mod functions in creative mode, but items in creative mode typically have no durability loss, so the tooltip will show full durability or no durability value depending on the item.
