Never Break Tools

About

Keep a worn-out tool for repair instead of accidentally using its last durability.

Never Break Tools adds a low-durability safety guard for vanilla tools and weapons in Minecraft Bedrock. When a tool reaches 10 durability or less, the add-on blocks mining and item use, then puts the tool away so you can repair it.

Features

• Automatic protection — works in Survival and Adventure without commands or a settings menu.
• Put worn tools away — moves the selected tool to an empty inventory slot. With a full inventory, switches to a safe hotbar slot when one is available.
• Keep your item — preserves the tool's name, enchantments and remaining durability. Protected items are never dropped or deleted by the add-on.
• Vanilla tools and weapons — supports pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes, swords and spears, including copper tools, plus bows, crossbows, tridents and maces.
• Utility tools — also supports shears, fishing rods, brushes, flint and steel, carrots on sticks and warped fungus on sticks.
• Multiplayer support — protects each player's selected tool independently.
• Localized warnings — includes English and Russian messages.

How to use

1. Import the .mcaddon file into Minecraft Bedrock.
2. Activate the Never Break Tools Behavior Pack and its included Resource Pack for your world.
3. Play normally in Survival or Adventure. Keep a free inventory slot or a safe hotbar slot available.
4. When a tool has 10 durability or less, it is put away and a short chat message appears.
5. Repair the stored tool through an anvil, or combine compatible tools through crafting or a grindstone. Use it again once its durability is above 10. Combining tools may remove enchantments under normal Minecraft rules.

Notes

• This is a safety guard, not infinite durability. Tools still wear down during normal use.
• Keep somewhere to put the tool. If your inventory is full and all nine hotbar items need protection, the tool must stay in your hand. The add-on blocks supported uses and warns you, but melee attacks can still wear it down.
• A tool used before it can be put away, an attack already in progress, an in-flight projectile, or another add-on that changes item durability may bypass protection.
• Once a tool is put away, it does not receive held-item Mending repairs. Mending works normally while a usable tool is held above the protection threshold; use an anvil or combine tools to repair one that has already been put away.
• Armor, shields, elytra and items from other add-ons are outside this version's scope.
• Creative and Spectator are unaffected. No recipes or new items are added.

Requirements

• Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.26.50 or newer
