How To See Durability In Minecraft Java

Durability is a holding that affects all tools, weapons, and armor, besides as sure other usable items. It represents the number of useful actions an item can perform and depletes upon item employ. The bar starts at dark-green, but equally the durability decreases, the color turns to yellow, then orange, and finally red. When the immovability is empty, the detail is about to get destroyed. Durability may be increased past merging two damaged items or repairing them with materials in an anvil or a grindstone, or through the Mending enchantment.

Interface [ ]

The remaining durability of any item tin can exist seen past looking at the detail'south durability bar on the bottom of the detail icon in the inventory and activity bar. Unused items do not display a durability bar. As the particular's immovability decreases, the bar'southward colored area shortens right to left, irresolute color from dark-green to red and leaving an empty gray part. When the item has a minor number of uses left, the durability bar is represented equally empty, due to rounding to the nearest pixel i-down, until the tool or armor is destroyed.

The numeric durability of the player's items can be displayed in-game by pressing F3+H.‌^{[ Java Edition only ]} (This enables additional information in the tooltips for items in the role player'southward inventory.)

A weapon or tool picked up past a mob does not subtract in durability; it remains the aforementioned as when the item was showtime picked up past the mob. Withal, a helmet worn past an undead mob in sunlight loses durability due to the helmet absorbing the mob's damage from burning.

Items with the Unbreakable tag do not deplete their durability or intermission when used. Their durability is non shown, fifty-fifty with avant-garde tooltips enabled, though it is retained in the NBT data. Such an item tin be acquired using /give @south <item_name>{Unbreakable:1b}.‌^{[ Java Edition only ]}

Armor durability [ ]

Armor durability is based on the armor's blazon (head, body, legs, anxiety) and material (leather, gold, chain mail, iron, diamond, and netherite). Whatever time the thespian takes damage that can be reduced past armor, each piece of armor they are wearing loses 1 durability for every four of incoming damage (rounded downwards, just never below 1).

Armor can reduce damage from the following sources:

Straight attacks from mobs and other players
- This includes Strength and Weakness condition furnishings or extra harm from enchantments.
Getting striking with an arrow, shulker bullet, thrown trident, egg, snowball, llama spit, fireball, or wither skull
- This includes extra damage from enchantments
Getting hit with an egg or snowball
Damage from Thorns enchantment (as well every bit guardian'due south spikes)
Getting struck by lightning
Touching a block of fire, lava, magma block (does non damage netherite armor)
Moving into cactus, or in grown sweet berry bush
Explosions (including fireworks, but deals more than ane betoken of durability)

The following types of impairment are not reduced by ordinary armor and have no effect on the armor'southward durability but some enchantments protect against them:

Ongoing damage from beingness on burn
Suffocating inside a block or due to entity cramming (also includes the earth border)
Drowning in h2o (partially for turtle shells)
Fall damage (including ender pearls)
Colliding a block with an elytra
Magic (Evoker fangs, Dragon's Jiff, Poisonous substance, Wither and Instant Impairment status effects)
Being inside of a powder snowfall cake

The post-obit types of damage are non reduced by ordinary armor fifty-fifty with enchantments such every bit protection:

Falling into the void or /kill
Starvation
Warden'south ranged sonic attacks

Values in the table below represent the number of points of immovability damage this armor tin have before it is destroyed.

Notation that every time the thespian takes damage that armor is capable of reducing (see above), information technology counts as one point of durability damage for every worn armor piece.

Textile	Helmet	Chestplate	Leggings	Boots
Turtle Beat	275	N/A	N/A	N/A
Leather	55	80	75	65
Golden	77	112	105	91
Chainmail	165	240	225	195
Atomic number 26	165	240	225	195
Diamond	363	528	495	429
Netherite	407	592	555	481

Tool durability [ ]

Some tools are not cake-breaking tools: This includes bows, line-fishing rods, carrots on sticks, flint and steel, warped fungi on sticks, and elytra. Such tools are no better than bare fists at breaking blocks, but they do not take damage from doing and then—they take damage by being used in their own various manners.

For block-breaking tools, a use is counted just if a histrion completely breaks autonomously i block or hits a mob. If a block is partially broken this is not counted equally a total utilise.

Items with an Unbreaking enchantment practice not always lose immovability when used; for a given enchantment level, the chance of losing durability is 1 in (1+level). Such items terminal an actress level times their original durability, give or take a few.

Sparkler and Glow Stick‌^{[ Bedrock and Education editions just ]}

Durability gradually decreases while the item is active and held in hand.
If the thespian has a lit sparkler in their inventory and goes into the water, the sparkler is destroyed immediately regardless of immovability.

All other tools can be used indefinitely.

Using a tool properly maximizes its immovability. Assuming a player uses a tool appropriately, the following list shows the maximum durability for tools of each material blazon.

Gold: 32 uses

History [ ]

Java Edition Indev
0.31	20100110	When iron tools were introduced, they had space durability.
	20100128	When wooden, stone, and diamond tools were introduced, they had infinite durability.
	20100131	Immovability of all tools are no longer infinite and had a much lower durability than they do now. Iron tools had 129 uses, wooden tools had 33, stone tools had 65, diamond tools had 257, and golden tools accept 33.
Java Edition Infdev
20100313		Diamond tools' durability has been increased to 513.
Java Edition Blastoff

Java Edition
1.0.0	?	Previously, all armor materials offered the aforementioned base number of armor points, and the effective armor points of a graphic symbol were equal to the sum of the base armor betoken values, times the sum of the current durabilities, divided by the sum of the base durabilities. This is no longer the case as of 1.9-pre1. This led to some interesting cases where a single, badly damaged piece could reduce total armor points or a single, loftier-quality slice of armor could exist greatly augmented with a set of low-quality, low-tier armor.
1.0.0	?	When a tool breaks in multiplayer, the game no longer considers the last block broken, as if it had been washed with the histrion'southward easily.
1.3.1	12w24a	Breaking a cake that tin be instantly mined by manus while holding a block-breaking tool no longer reduces the tool'due south durability.
1.4.2	12w41a	`F3` +`H` now shows tool and armor durability on damaged items.
1.eleven	16w41a	The durability bar is revamped: The colour is now bright during the unabridged length of the bar.
		Previously, the bar fades into grape green, dark yellow, dark orange, nighttime orange-red, and eventually red as information technology decreases in length.
		The background of the durability bar is now completely black, where information technology used to be transparent.
i.13.ane	18w30b	The durability of all items are decreased past one due to the gear up of MC-120664.
ane.18	21w37a	The durability of crossbows is increased to 465 to match Bedrock Edition.
Pocket Edition Alpha
v0.2.0		When stone tools and shears were introduced, they had infinite durability every bit crafting was not all the same implemented.
v0.3.0		When wooden tools were introduced, they had a much lower durability than they exercise now. Wooden tools had 11 uses.
v0.3.0		Stone tools' immovability take been decreased to 132 uses.
v0.3.3		Attacking mobs now counts as one apply for swords and ii uses for axes, pickaxes, and shovels.
		The durability of wooden tools has been increased from eleven uses to 60 uses.
		The durability of fe and diamond tools has been increased to friction match Java Edition. The durability of gold tools was not increased, simply they were given a speed boost.^{[ verify ]}
