Armor Durability
by GregoryAM
Armor Durability shows the armor a player wears as icons beside the hotbar, with a durability bar under each damaged piece.
What it does
Worn pieces of helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots are shown as a column beside the hotbar, letting a player check their condition at a glance while staying in the game world. The bars follow the vanilla durability style, and the offhand slot stays clear of the row so nothing overlaps it.
The row hides itself when the player is not wearing armor. The mod is a lightweight client-side Fabric mod, so only the client needs it and a server can run without it. Builds are published for Fabric only, for game version 26.2, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 26.2, dated 2026-07-23. Installation needs Fabric API on the client; a server install is not required.
Key features
Armor icons beside the hotbar
Every armor piece a player wears is rendered on the left side of the hotbar in a single line.
Durability bars under damaged pieces
A vanilla-style bar sits under each piece that has taken wear, showing remaining durability at a glance.
Clear offhand slot
The armor row is placed so it does not cover the offhand slot.
Hidden when unarmored
The display disappears while no armor is worn, so the hotbar area stays uncluttered.
