Custom Armor Bar
by evaraphi
Custom Armor Bar changes the armor display on Forge 1.7.10 so that armor values above 20 show as separate colored icons.
What it does
The vanilla armor bar simply maxes out when full, so armor better than diamond looks the same as diamond. This mod shows armor values over 20 as different colored icons, and the color changes each time the bar is filled. The colors are configurable.
Without AttributeFix, the display stops at 30 armor, the vanilla cap. The mod is derived from another armor bar project for 1.7.10. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it. Released under the MIT License, but not open source. The only file is 1.0.0 for 1.7.10, published 2022-05-31.

What the author says
The vanilla armor bar doesn't accurately show "better than diamond" level armor, as it simply maxes out when its full. This mod allows armor values over 20 to be displayed as different colored (configurable) icons depending on how many times you fill the bar.
