Armor HUD Durability Bars
by sdfffdddfff
Armor HUD Durability Bars shows the durability of worn armor as four bars in the bottom-left corner of the screen, updating in real time.
What it does
Each of the four bars tracks one armor slot against that piece's maximum durability. Colors shift from blue through green and yellow to orange, and finally red as the item wears down, while an empty slot keeps its bar gray. Once durability drops under 20 percent by default, the bar starts to flicker, and the flicker grows more intense as the value falls lower.
The screen layout can be adjusted to taste. Players pick one of four built-in presets, including Default, Vertical, Simple1, Simple2, Black white lines, One color, Pinky, Rainbow and Mini, and can fine-tune bar positioning, width, corner rounding, outline thickness and text alignment. The configuration menu opens with the Down Arrow key by default, and that key can be rebound in the settings.
Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 4.0.0 as the latest build for each loader. The author is sdfffdddfff, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
