Attack Damage and Durability

Attack damage: It denotes the quantity of harm an item inflicts when used to attack a mob.

Durability: It pertains to the lifespan of an object. In the context of tools, weapons, and transportation, durability is measured by the number of functional operations the item can perform before succumbing to damage. In the case of armor, durability refers to the count of hits that the armor can endure before becoming unusable. Therefore, a higher durability value indicates a longer-lasting item.
