Identify Tool Durability at a Glance

Understanding Visible Wear on Tools

Tools and weapons now display progressive visual damage as they lose durability. Instead of relying solely on the durability bar, you can see cracks and wear marks appear on the tool's texture itself, making damage obvious even in quick inventory checks.

How to Spot Damaged Equipment

As you use a tool, small cracks and discoloration gradually appear on its texture. A freshly crafted tool looks pristine, while a heavily used tool shows significant visible wear. This applies to all tools and weapons across different materials.

When This Matters

• Before long journeys: Glance at your pickaxe to confirm it's not about to break mid-mining
• Comparing backups: Quickly see which of your spare tools is in better condition
• Inventory management: Identify which tools need repair at an anvil without hovering over durability bars

Pro Tip

Combine this with the unified color palettes—tools made from the same material now share consistent colors, so you can instantly recognize what material each tool is made from while also assessing its wear level.
