Description

Broken Equipment

Broken Equipment makes your gear break without ever disappearing on Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge.

When a tool, weapon or armor piece reaches 0 durability, it is not destroyed: it becomes ruined. Repair it and it comes back exactly as it was, with every enchantment, custom name and piece of mod data still on it.

Work with enchantment !

Features

  • Tools, weapons, armor, shields, bows, tridents, elytra... never break for good
  • Ruined items keep everything: enchantments, custom names, trims and the data added by other mods (Tiered, Apotheosis, etc.)
  • Ruined items are useless until repaired:
    • no attack damage, armor or attribute bonuses
    • enchantments are disabled
    • tools mine at bare-hand speed
    • bows, shields and other usable items cannot be used
    • shields no longer block anything
    • Ruined armor cannot be equipped, and ruined armor already worn is no longer shown on the player
    • Repair works the usual way: anvil, Mending, or anything else that restores durability
    • Ruined textures generated automatically from each item's own texture, for vanilla and modded items, including resource packs
    • 3D shields turn into a flat, cracked version of their front face when ruined
    • The item name shows as "Ruined ..." in tooltips and above the hotbar, then goes back to the original name once repaired
    • The durability bar is hidden while the item is ruined
    • /brokenequipment break [mainhand|offhand|both] [targets] command to instantly ruin held items (op level 2)

Compatibility

Works with any mod item that uses durability. Tested with:

  • Advanced Netherite
  • Epic Knights: Shields Armor and Weapons
  • Fantasy Armor (Medieval Series)
  • Immersive Armors
  • Spartan Shields Unofficial
  • Spartan Weaponry Unofficial

Tinkers' Construct tools keep their own broken-tool system.

Items can be excluded (so they break normally) with the item tag brokenequipment:breakable.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.21.1
  • NeoForge 21.1.x
  • Java 21
