You have it so that I can control when it happens, but I would like the option to mute that sound too. What I like most about the mod is being able to see my tools and armor quickly at a glance on the main HUD. The item durability warning, I can live without, so an option to disable it would be great.

The newest version can do that - you can switch the warning between sound only, visual only, both, or none.

my pack is 1.12.2 tho. i have the newest version, did you just upload? is there a 1.12.2 1.7 now?

Ah, sorry, I didn't see you're still back at 1.12.

Sorry, but I won't backport features to those old versions, that's just too much work for too few users. (The source code is available though so everybody is welcome to do it themselves).

However, that version already has the "minimum percent" and "minimum durability" options. If you set both of them to 1, you'll get a single ripping sound when something breaks, but nothing else (and you can even disable that by removing the ogg file from the jar as described at the end of the curseforge text)
