Custom Durability Bar
by leafs4n
Custom Durability Bar lets a player change how the durability bar of an item looks, where it sits and which way it runs, or hide it.
What it does
The bar can be restyled without editing code: its texture, its orientation and its position on screen are all adjustable, and it can be turned off entirely for players who prefer a clean HUD. Texture changes are made through a resource pack, so a pack author can supply a custom bar look that replaces the default one.
The texture has to follow a fixed layout: a 224 by 32 pixel image divided into 14 regions of 16 by 16 pixels each. The mod only accepts 16 by 16 pixel textures for now, and larger textures are not supported. Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib) must be installed alongside the mod. The mod is client-side only, so only the player needs it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Files target Fabric, and the latest build is 1.0.0+1.21.2 for 1.21.3.

Who it’s for: Players who want a different durability bar look or placement on Fabric, and resource pack authors who build bar textures for the 16 by 16 pixel layout.
