Clean Armor HUD
by astrolddd
With Clean Armor HUD, players see worn armor pieces, held items and durability on screen, placed wherever the layout suits them, on a Fabric client.
What it does
Clean Armor HUD is a client-side Fabric mod that replaces the vanilla armor row with a customizable modern armor display. Offhand items can be shown as well, and the vanilla armor bar can be hidden. Layout controls cover rotation, scale, spacing and alignment, and the bars arrange themselves horizontally or vertically depending on the chosen layout.
Durability can be shown as a percentage or a number, or hidden, and an optional durability bar can be turned on. Drag-and-drop repositioning lets a player move the display to any spot on the screen. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is an optional dependency that gives access to the settings screen.
The mod is open source under the Apache License 2.0. Builds are published for the newest releases, with snapshot builds included, and the latest Fabric file targets 26.3.
Key features

The item held in the offhand slot appears alongside the worn armor pieces.
Drag-and-drop placement
The armor display can be dragged to any position on the screen, and its place is saved between sessions.
Layout controls
Rotation, scale, spacing and alignment can each be adjusted, so the display fits different HUD setups.
Durability display modes
Durability is shown as a percentage or a number, or hidden, and an optional bar can be added beneath each piece.
Vanilla armor bar toggle
The default armor row can be hidden so only the custom display remains on screen.
