Welcome to an exciting guide to enhancing your Minecraft gaming experience. If you’re an avid player of Minecraft Java Edition, you’ve probably wondered how to display the durability of your items. Today, I’ll walk you through a straightforward process to enable this function using a simple command. While this tutorial is specifically for Java Edition users, Bedrock players, I apologize as this feature isn’t available for your version just yet.

Steps to Display Item Durability

First, ensure you’re prepared to use some keyboard magic. Let’s get right into it:

1. Open the Debug Menu:

   To begin, you’ll need to bring up the debug menu on your screen. Press the F3 key. This key is crucial and will display a variety of useful debug information on your screen.

   If you don’t see anything change, don’t fret. It might be a simple matter of pressing the FN (Function) key alongside F3. This combination is often needed, especially on laptops and certain keyboard layouts. Once performed correctly, the debug menu appears, indicating that you’re on the right track.

2. Activating Advanced Tooltips:

   Now that you’ve accessed the debug menu, the next step involves displaying the advanced tooltips. To do this, you’ll need to press both the F3 key and the H key simultaneously.

   Performing this action will activate the tooltips and a small notification saying “Advanced tooltips shown” will pop up. This lets you know the feature is successfully enabled.

Understanding the Durability Display

Once activated, you may notice a string of information that wasn’t there before. Don’t worry about the extra NBT (Named Binary Tag) text that appears on item hover. This information helps you, among other things, see the durability of your items in numbers, which is the main goal here.

Remember that for durability details to show, you’ll need to use the item a little bit. This means performing actions like chopping with an axe or mining with a pickaxe. After some usage, you’ll notice the durability information displayed on your item tooltip.

Conclusion

There you have it—a simple yet effective method to check item durability in Minecraft Java Edition efficiently. These advanced tooltips just make managing your tools so much easier, ensuring you’re always prepared and equipped during your adventures.
