Armor Damage Indicator
by Anti-Vision
Armor Damage Indicator is a client-side HUD for Fabric that shows the durability of worn armor pieces on screen while a player plays.
What it does
Armor Damage Indicator draws the current durability of each armor piece as a heads-up display element, so a player can see wear at a glance without opening the inventory. The style is minimal and flat, modeled on the readouts found in tactical shooters such as Escape from Tarkov, and the indicator can use several color schemes that shift from green through yellow to red as durability drops.
The position, size and opacity of the display are configurable. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional: when it is installed, the settings screen opens from its menu. Because the work happens on the client, only the player who installs it needs the mod, and servers can run without it.
The mod is released under the ISC License and is not open source. Builds cover 1.21.6 – 1.21.10, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.10 as the latest file, published on 2026-01-03 after a first release on 2025-12-28.

Use cases
Watching wear in combat
Players who fight often can check how much durability each armor piece has left without leaving the game view.
Planning repairs
A visible readout of worn pieces helps decide when to repair or replace armor before it breaks.
Who it’s for: Players of single-player worlds and multiplayer servers who want armor wear visible during play. Servers do not need the mod, since only the client runs it.
