Monitoring Tool Durability During Mining

Staying Aware of Tool Condition

While mining or gathering resources, you can quickly check your tool's durability without stopping work. Simply pause briefly and hover over the tool in your hotbar or open your inventory to see the exact durability remaining.

Planning Your Mining Sessions

1. Before starting a mining trip, check your pickaxe's durability tooltip

2. Estimate how much mining you can do based on the durability shown

3. If durability is low, consider bringing a backup tool or crafting a replacement first

4. During mining, periodically check the tooltip to know when to switch tools or return home

5. Use this information to decide whether to repair items at an anvil or craft new ones

This prevents the frustration of your tool breaking mid-task. The mod makes durability visible at a glance, so you can make informed decisions about resource management and tool maintenance before you're caught without a working implement.
