🛡️ Durability Multiplier

"Gear That Endures. Granular, Mathematical Durability Scaling for Every Playstyle."

📖 Introduction

Crafting top-tier Diamond or Netherite tools, enchanting them with Mending and Unbreaking, and socketing Armor Trims represents hundreds of hours of survival dedication. Yet in vanilla Minecraft, mining out a single underground perimeter, clearing a quarry, or engaging in intense raid combat depletes durability bars at an alarming rate. You spend more time pausing to mend tools at XP farms or managing repair costs than actually enjoying your survival world.

Durability Multiplier eliminates equipment burnout under the Instant Gratification design philosophy. Rather than altering item NBT data or breaking save compatibility, it introduces server-wide mathematical durability scaling. Whether you want tools to last $2\times$, $5\times$, or $100\times$ longer—or want completely unbreakable gear—Durability Multiplier provides granular per-category control, Unbreaking enchantment synergy, anvil repair cost stabilization, and zero-save-modification safety.

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! Does NOT permanently corrupt item NBT or save files; gear scales dynamically at runtime.

Part of the Instant Gratification Collection — mods that respect the player's time.

✨ Features

📐 Dual Mathematical Scaling Modes

• Proportional Wear Reduction (Default): Hooks directly into ItemStack.hurtAndBreak to scale damage consumption probabilistically. For instance, with a $5\times$ multiplier, each tool use has an exact $20\%$ chance of inflicting $1$ point of wear, smoothly extending lifespan by fivefold while preserving standard vanilla durability bars.
• True Capacity Inflation Mode: Scales the effective max-damage ceiling of items directly, allowing tools to visually withstand thousands of uses before entering the red damage zone.

🏷️ Fine-Grained Category Scaling

Customize multipliers independently across different gear classifications:

• ⚔️ Weapons: Swords, Axes, Maces, Bows, Crossbows, and Tridents (durability_multiplier:weapon_multiplier).
• ⛏️ Mining Tools: Pickaxes, Shovels, and Hoes (durability_multiplier:tool_multiplier).
• 🛡️ Armor Sets: Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots (durability_multiplier:armor_multiplier).
• 🪽 Elytra Aeronautics: Dedicated flight durability multiplier to enable long-distance exploration without mid-air wing snaps (durability_multiplier:elytra_multiplier).
• 🎣 Utility & Fishing: Fishing rods, Shears, Flint & Steel, and Brushes (durability_multiplier:utility_multiplier).

🔮 Unbreaking Enchantment Synergy

• True Multiplicative Stacking: Works seamlessly alongside vanilla Unbreaking enchantments. A $3\times$ mod multiplier combined with Unbreaking III ($4\times$ effective durability) yields a true $12\times$ lifespan boost.
• Custom Wear Roll Thresholds: Configurable formula curve ensures that low-durability items like Gold or Flint & Steel remain balanced while high-tier gear excels.

🔨 Anvil Repair Cost Normalization

• In vanilla Minecraft, repeated anvil repairs rapidly accumulate the dreaded "Too Expensive!" lockout.
• Durability Multiplier integrates with anvil mechanics to keep repair costs linear and predictable, ensuring prized heirloom tools never become unrepairable.

⚙️ Native GameRules & Server Configuration

Configure durability dynamically in-game without server restarts:

📖 In-Depth How-To & Gameplay Playbook

Step 1: Server & Singleplayer Setup

1. Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API for Minecraft 26.2+ / 26.3+.
2. Drop durability-multiplier-x.y.z+.jar into your mods/ folder.
3. Launch your game or server. All tools immediately gain the active durability multiplier!

Step 2: Customizing for Modpacks & Survival Balance

• For a balanced vanilla+ survival experience, we recommend:
• Tools: /gamerule durability_multiplier:tool_multiplier 3.0 (smooth quarrying without constant trips).
• Elytra: /gamerule durability_multiplier:elytra_multiplier 5.0 (long-range exploration).
• Armor: /gamerule durability_multiplier:armor_multiplier 2.0 (fair combat wear).
• For an RPG or builder pack, enable /gamerule durability_multiplier:prevent_breaking true so precious gear is never accidentally lost.

🛡️ 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 multiplier you control — no NBT edits, no world corruption, safe to add or remove at any time.

[!NOTE] 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.

✨ Features

🔢 Percentage-Based Durability Scaling

The core mechanic uses integer percentage values rather than arbitrary multipliers:

• 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 without making gear feel free.

♾️ Three Durability Modes Per Category

Every item category supports three independent modes, configurable via GameRule:

🗂️ 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 via DynamicRegistryScanner. 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 needing to edit JSON files or use commands.

🎮 GameRule Reference

Set any rule in-game with /gamerule <key> <value>. No server restart required.

Global & Category Rules

Sub-Type Rules (Weapons)

Sub-Type Rules (Tools)

Sub-Type Rules (Armor)

[!TIP] All _percent_ rules have an _infinity_ and _single_use_ twin. Example: ig:dm_infinity_elytra, ig:dm_single_use_swords.

📦 Setup & Configuration

Step 1: Install

1. Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API for your Minecraft version.
2. Install Dasik Library >=1.8.38 (required dependency).
3. Drop durability-multiplier-x.y.z+<version>.jar into your mods/ folder.
4. Launch your game or server. All damageable items immediately use the active durability percentage!

Step 2: Customize via GameRule

I recommend these balanced vanilla+ starting points:

• Tools: /gamerule ig:dm_percent_tools 300 — smooth quarrying without constant trips
• Elytra: /gamerule ig:dm_percent_elytra 500 — long-range exploration
• Armor: /gamerule ig:dm_percent_armor 200 — fair combat wear

For hardcore RPG or roguelike packs, try Glass Mode: /gamerule ig:dm_single_use_global true — every item breaks after one use.

Step 3: Config File

Settings are also editable in config/durability-multiplier.json. Install ModMenu + YACL for an in-game GUI.
