Breaking Warning
Never lose your valuable tools and armor again! Breaking Warning is a highly customizable, lightweight Fabric mod that safely locks your items right before they break. It gives you full control over your gear with visual alerts, audio cues, and native in-game configuration.
Core Features
Automatic Durability Lock When your tool or armor reaches its critical durability threshold (1 use by default), the mod prevents you from using it. It instantly nerfs the mining speed and attack damage to zero, shielding your gear from accidental destruction. 🛡️ 
Sneak to Bypass Need to break the tool anyway? You are always in control. Simply hold SHIFT (Sneak) to bypass the safety lock. Your full mining speed and attack damage will be restored, allowing you to sacrifice the item if you choose to. ⛏️🔥 
Immersive Feedback
Visual and Audio Alerts The exact moment your tool is saved, you will hear a distinct shield-blocking sound and see critical hit particles, instantly alerting you to stop mining. ✨
Custom Tooltips and Inventory Icons Protected items receive a dynamic yellow warning icon directly inside your inventory slot. Additionally, a clear tooltip message is added to the item so you always know its status. 📝 
On-The-Fly Configuration
Live Keybind Settings No need to navigate through complex config files. Use integrated vanilla keybinds to change the mod's behavior in real-time. You will receive instant chat feedback for every change! 💬⚙️ 
Dedicated Controls Menu Fully integrated into the Minecraft options menu. You can customize:
- Change Threshold: Set the warning to trigger at 1, 10, or 100 remaining uses.
- Toggle Filter: Choose whether to protect only items with the Mending enchantment, or all enchanted gear.
- Toggle Sound & Particles: Easily enable or disable the visual and audio feedback.
