# Durability Sucks!
\nHave you ever been playing Minecraft and think, “Man, I wish I didn’t have to make 200 iron pickaxes while mining. I wish I could just have one tool and not have to worry about it breaking”?<\/p>\n
**GOOD NEWS!** I killed it.
\n## Why?
\nWell, frankly, I don’t like durability. While it works great as a survival mechanic, modern Minecraft’s endgame with Mending has basically made it more of a nuisance than a proper mechanic.
\nSo, I removed it! It removes some tedium from the earlygame progression AND _(most importantly)_ the endgame sandbox of Minecraft.
\n## Wait, why is there a tag to add it back then?
\nSome mods use durability as a central mechanic for balancing their items. I get it, it’s really convenient! Easy system to give powerful items limited uses. Only problem is, with other mods that do this job there’s no way to add durability _back_ to items that require it for their function!
\nSo, I, using the help of my good friend and _actual_ professional modder Liz, made **Durability Sucks** to fix that.<\/p>\n
# How do I add durability back to items?
\nUsing a datapack, add the tag willowmod:break_anyway to your given item and it will start taking damage again! You can find an example datapack here, and if you’re looking for a way to make the datapack automatically load for every world check out Paxi! _(It’s what I use.)_<\/p>\n
## Where can I see this mod in action?
\nI’m working on a second version of a major modpack of mine, **New World**, which will utilize this mod and its specific functionality to make for an overhauled endgame sandbox experience!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
