Better Armor HUD

by Mamtak

Better Armor HUD shows the durability of worn armor on screen, and warns the player when a piece drops below a set threshold.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21 – 26.2

What it does

The durability display sits on the HUD while the player plays. Each equipped armor slot can show remaining durability, and a slot falling below the threshold, 15% by default, gets a warning badge. Players can open the settings with the O key, rebindable under Controls, to adjust the colours, frame style and background theme. The mod is client-side only, so players install it alone and servers need nothing. It runs on Fabric Loader 0.16.0 or newer with Fabric API, for 1.21 – 26.2, and is released under the MIT License without being open source.

Key features

  1. Armor durability display

    Remaining durability for each equipped armor piece is drawn on the HUD during play.

  2. Low durability warning

    A slot under the threshold, 15% by default, is marked with a warning badge and can play an optional chime.

  3. Customizable appearance

    Sixteen colours, twelve frame styles and twenty-nine background themes can be combined, with a rainbow custom colour picker.
