3armod
by alwakann
3armod is a Fabric HUD addition that shows armor strength as a compact readout beside the hotbar.
What it does
Players who want to check their armor without opening the inventory can read the strength value on the HUD near the hotbar. The display is minimalistic and is meant to stay out of the way during play. Only the client needs it, so players install it while servers can run without it. Builds target 1.21.8, and the latest file is 1.0.2 for 1.21.8, published on 2026-03-06 on the beta channel. The code is under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
Key features
Armor strength readout
A numeric armor strength value is shown on screen, so the current protection is visible at a glance.
Display beside the hotbar
The readout sits near the hotbar, where the player already looks for items and held tools.
Minimalistic layout
The HUD element is kept small and simple, so it adds little clutter to the play screen.

What the author says
3ki armor hud is a minimalistic display of armor strength, near the hotbar. I made an armor hud because I've been looking for one for a long time, and I think you'll find something in it too.I will soon release update 1.0.3, which will bring new features and mechanics.
