Armor Glance
by Xeonz
Armor Glance puts a compact armor display beside the hotbar, showing the four worn pieces with durability bars.
What it does
The display lists the helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots, each with a durability indicator. Players can switch the readout between percentages and raw durability numbers, and the layout can run vertically or horizontally. Position, spacing, slot box transparency and the bars themselves are adjustable, and all options are configurable through Mod Menu.
Armor Glance is a client-side only mod, so only the player's client needs it and servers run without it. It is released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across nine release versions, 1.21 – 26.2, with 2.7.0 for 26.2 as the latest file, dated 2026-07-02. The mod is built to stay light, so players can keep an eye on their gear without clutter on screen.
