What Durability? Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Unbreakable Tools and Armor for RPG Play

download Skip to Downloads

The What Durability? Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) by Serilum redefines Minecraft’s core survival mechanic by removing durability entirely from the game. All tools, weapons, armor, and other items that normally wear down over time are made unbreakable. This change brings Minecraft closer to gameplay styles seen in RPGs like Terraria and Stardew Valley, where gear doesn’t degrade, and the focus is shifted toward quests, exploration, or combat instead of constant resource grinding.

This mod is ideal for custom maps or modpacks where progression isn’t centered around crafting replacements, but rather on upgrading, questing, or leveling. It even supports modded items that rely on vanilla durability systems, making it a plug-and-play solution for RPG-focused worlds.

What Durability? Mod

Features:

  • Durability Removed: Completely disables item wear-and-tear mechanics gear will never break, regardless of use.
  • All Gear is Unbreakable: Applies to vanilla tools, armor, weapons, fishing rods, flint & steel, Elytra, and more.
  • Supports Modded Items: Any modded item that uses Minecraft’s standard durability system will also be made unbreakable.
  • Inspired by RPG Titles: Mimics equipment systems from Terraria and Stardew Valley, where gear doesn’t decay with use.
  • Ideal for Non-Survival Playstyles: Designed for use in RPG modpacks or adventure maps where durability is unnecessary or distracting.
