Low Armor Notifier
by TimeSquared
Low Armor Notifier warns a player with a chat alert and a sound when worn armour nears the point of breaking.
What it does
The mod checks each worn armour piece and compares its current durability with its maximum. When the remaining share falls below a percentage the player sets, a notification appears and a short sound plays. The threshold is user-defined, so the alert can fire early or only near the end of an item's life.
A configuration screen opens by typing the armour notifications command in chat and selecting the settings option. Changes are saved there and take effect without restarting the game. The mod does not depend on other mods, so it can be added to a Fabric or Quilt setup alone.
Client-side only: only the client needs it, and a server can run without it. Files exist for 1.19.4, with the 1.2+1.19.x build dated 2023-07-11 as the latest release on both Fabric and Quilt. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Durability alert
A notification is shown whenever a worn armour piece drops below the threshold set by the player.
Adjustable threshold
The percentage at which the alert triggers is user-defined, so each player picks how much durability should remain.
Alert sound
A short sound plays when the alert is triggered, so the warning is noticed without reading the chat.
Settings screen
A configuration screen, opened from chat, lets the player change the alert settings and close it when done.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Long fights and expeditions
Players who spend long periods away from a repair station can see armour nearing break before it fails during a fight.
Solo survival
In a single-player world the alert gives early warning without needing a server or any other mod.
Who it’s for: Players of Minecraft Java Edition 1.19.4 who use Fabric or Quilt and want a warning before worn armour breaks. The mod is only needed on the client.
How it compares
Health Alert is a client-side mod for Fabric and Quilt, built for 1.20.5 – 26.1.2 under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Insomnia Notifier is also client-side and open source under the MIT License, but it runs on Fabric only and covers 1.21.3 – 1.21.8. Low Armor Notifier targets only 1.19.4, so it covers the older release that neither of those does.

What the author says
This mod's idea is simple: it will alert you whenever your armour is about to break. It works by checking every tick if the ratio between the current durability of your armour and the max durability of your armour is less than a user-defined percent value. It also plays a fun little sound every time this alert is…
