Tool Durability

Introduction #

1.16.100 items have different durability mechanic than 1.10 and 1.16 items. Now you need to define when will the item get durability damage and also an event that does it. What will be discussed on this page:

• Event that updates durability
• on_hurt_entity durability update
• on_dig durability update
• repair_amount value
• on_tool_used event

Event #

"durability_update": {
    "damage": {
        "type": "durability",
        "amount": 1,
        "target": "self"
    }
}

When this event is called the item (self target) will receive durability damage. Looks simple, doesn't it?

on_hurt_entity #

on_hurt_entity can be defined in "minecraft:weapon" component. It tells the game what event should happen when player hurts entity using this item.

"minecraft:weapon": {
    "on_hurt_entity": {
        "event": "durability_update"
    }
}

on_dig #

on_dig can be defined in "minecraft:digger" component. It tells the game what event should happen when player dug a block using this item.

"minecraft:digger": {
    "use_efficiency": true,
    "destroy_speeds": [
        {
            "block": {
                "tags": "q.any_tag('wood')"
            },
            "speed": 8,
            "on_dig": {
				// Defines event that should happen when block with tag wood was dug.
                "event": "durability_update"
            }
        }
    ],
    "on_dig": {
		// Defines event that should happen when any block was destroyed.
        "event": "damage_item"
    }
}

repair_amount #

repair_amount can be defined in "minecraft:repairable" component. It tells the game how much of the item's durability should be back when it was repaired.

"minecraft:repairable": {
    "repair_items": [
        {
            "repair_amount": "context.other->query.remaining_durability + 0.05 * context.other->query.max_durability",
            "items": [
                "bs:silver",
                "bs:silver_axe"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Formula explanation:

"context.other->query.remaining_durability + 0.05 * context.other->query.max_durability"

The final durability will be durability of the first axe + durability of the second axe + 5% of 2nd axe MAX durability.

on_tool_used #

(This might not work now) on_tool_used is special event that can be called using tags. Tags work kinda like runtime identifiers for entities. Known tags:

You can apply these tags this way:

"tag:minecraft:is_axe": {}
