Durability Multiplier
"Stop babysitting your tools. Multiply durability or go God Mode — it's just a GameRule away."
Introduction
Crafting top-tier Diamond or Netherite gear, enchanting it with Mending and Unbreaking, and grinding hundreds of hours of survival — only to watch your durability bar drain in a single quarry run. Vanilla tool degradation punishes dedication.
Durability Multiplier eliminates equipment burnout under the Instant Gratification design philosophy. Rather than altering item NBT data or breaking save compatibility, it intercepts durability damage at the source using a single lightweight ItemStack.hurtAndBreak Mixin. Every durability drain event is scaled by a server-wide percentage you control — no NBT edits, no world corruption, safe to add or remove at any time.
1 Jar 1 Version Policy: I build 1 dedicated JAR for each Minecraft version (e.g. MC 26.2, MC 26.3). Please download the exact build that matches your Minecraft installation.
Survival World Safe: Safe to add or remove at any time! Gear scales dynamically at runtime; no permanent item NBT or save file changes.
Part of the Instant Gratification Collection — mods that respect your time.
Features
Percentage-Based Durability Scaling
The core mechanic uses integer percentage values:
- 100% — vanilla durability (no change)
- 200% — 2x durability (items last twice as long)
- 400% — 4x durability
- 50% — half durability (items wear faster)
- -1 — Single-Use / Glass Mode (item breaks on first use)
The default is 200% (2x global durability) — a balanced vanilla+ baseline that doubles tool lifespans.
Three Durability Modes Per Category
| Mode | GameRule Type | Effect |
|---|---|---|
Percentage (ig:dm_percent_*) |
Integer | Scale durability. 100 = vanilla, 200 = 2x, -1 = single-use |
Infinity / God Mode (ig:dm_infinity_*) |
Boolean | Item never takes damage. Overrides percentage. |
Single-Use / Glass Mode (ig:dm_single_use_*) |
Boolean | Item breaks on first use. Overrides percentage. |
Fine-Grained Category Hierarchy
Control each gear type independently with a clean priority chain: per-item override → sub-type → category group → global fallback.
- Weapons: Swords, Spears, Tridents, Maces, Bows, Crossbows, Shields
- Tools: Pickaxes, Axes, Shovels, Hoes, Shears, Fishing Rods, Brushes, Flint & Steel
- Armor: Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, Boots
- Flight: Elytra
Modded Item Support
Durability Multiplier auto-discovers all damageable modded items from other mods at startup. Each mod item gets its own dynamic GameRules (ig:percent_<namespace>_<path>, ig:infinity_<namespace>_<path>, ig:single_use_<namespace>_<path>), giving you per-item surgical control over every modded tool and weapon.
Durability Tooltip
An optional in-game tooltip displays the active multiplier or mode label on every affected item. Toggle with ig:dm_show_tooltip. Display format is configurable: ADAPTIVE (auto-switches between Nx and %), PERCENTAGE, or MULTIPLIER.
Optional Config GUI
Install ModMenu + YetAnotherConfigLib (optional, not required) for a full in-game config screen without editing JSON files.
GameRule Reference
Set any rule in-game with /gamerule <key> <value>. No server restart required.
