ArmorDurability colors armor pieces by their remaining durability, so players can read wear in the world without opening the inventory.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

Vanilla Minecraft shows armor durability only as a small bar in the inventory, which is often missed during combat. This client-side Fabric mod changes the color of each armor piece in real time as its durability drops, so the state of the gear stays visible while the player moves and fights. Fabric API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are required, and the mod is for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Durability colors

    Armor pieces change color as their remaining durability goes down, shown directly on the gear.

  2. Real-time display

    The color updates while the player wears the armor, with no need to open the inventory to check it.

  3. Lightweight client code

    The mod runs only on the client, and servers do not need to install it.

What the author says

ArmorDurability is a lightweight client-side Fabric mod that visually indicates the durability of your armor in real time. No more guessing when your gear is about to break — your armor will change color dynamically based on its remaining durability.
