Aegis Armor
by Uriaras
Aegis Armor is a Fabric client mod that draws a customizable armor durability display on the HUD, with several layouts, anchor positions and background styles.
What it does
Aegis Armor reads the equipped helmet, chestplate, elytra, leggings and boots, and shows the durability of each piece on screen. Empty armor slots are skipped, so the display stays compact when only some pieces are worn. Colors change once an item drops below its warning thresholds, which are set by default and can be adjusted in the settings screen.
The display can run horizontally or vertically, sit on the left or right side, and be placed at several anchor positions, including top center. Background styles and the native Minecraft hotbar and offhand textures give it a look that matches the vanilla interface. The mod requires Nythral Library and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional but makes the settings screen easier to reach. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with files for 1.21.11 only.
