Hey, so I cracked part of a branch on my juniper a few weeks ago, and while the foliage has not entirely yellowed, it is noticeably less green than the other part. So it that branch doomed, are will the crack heal on its own?

A crack is normally not a problem. It will never heal, but it will grow new wood over the crack, assuming the bark is for the main part connected.
You are not keeping this inside are you? That will kill it.

The branch will never return to normal. The broken spot will not healt and a.mark will normally be visible. It is hard to tell exacly what is going on without seeing. Are we talking a thin 1cm thick branch? Or a heavy 5 cm? Ik have some branches of about 3 cm thick that during bending split along the length. This will always.be without bark.

it's about a 1 cm branch, my juniper is only a few years old, but I'm more worried about the leaves of the branch becoming fully green again

Sounds to me that branch is dead.
