APEX utilitys
APEX utilitys, a Fabric client mod for 1.21.1, puts armor durability, potion timers and a low-health cue on the HUD and lets players reposition them.
What it does
Dynamic Armor HUD shows each equipped piece with its exact durability number, so players can see how close a chestplate is to breaking instead of guessing. Precision Potion Timers replace the vanilla potion icons with an MM:SS countdown, and Low Health Pulse draws a faint red vignette once health drops below four hearts as a cue to heal without interrupting a fight.
Edit mode is opened with F6. In it the armor display can be dragged to any spot on screen with the mouse, and pressing F6 again locks the position and saves it. The mod is aimed at utility use for casual players and PvP practitioners who want readouts that stay out of the way. Performance First is part of the design: custom Mixins restrict the mod to the logic it needs, and it is described as compatible with performance mods such as Sodium.
Fabric API is required. The mod runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers need nothing. It is published for Fabric only, in a single build for 1.21.1 released on 2026-03-15. The code is All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.

How it compares
Sentinel Client is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11 under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Velaris Core is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11 under the MIT License, and it is not open source. PvP Toggle for fabric is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and built for 1.21.4 – 1.21.7, so it changes the server rather than the HUD.
