Detail Armor Bar Reconstructed
by Coredex
Detail Armor Bar Reconstructed shows more detail about worn armor directly in the HUD armor bar, on Fabric and NeoForge.
What it does
Armor pieces in the armor bar display extra information, such as enchantment protection types, mending effects, thorns and the durability state of each piece. The HUD stays the place where this information appears, so players read it without opening an inventory screen. Netherite armor and armor trims also get their own display in the bar.
The mod is a maintained fork aimed at Minecraft 1.21.5 and newer. Its development began in 2025 and the most recent update arrived in September 2026. Required dependencies are EclipseUI and Fabric API, and the environment is client-side only, so only players need it and servers run without it. Snapshot builds are published as well.
Files cover 17 release versions, and the latest build for each loader targets 26.3. The code is open source under the MIT License, with a public source repository and issue tracker. Earlier Minecraft versions are not covered.
Key features
Netherite armor bar
Netherite pieces receive their own entry in the armor bar, so their state is shown alongside other armor.
Enchantment protection colors
Each armor piece gets a color that reflects its enchantment protection type on the bar.
Mending and thorns indicators
The bar marks armor that has the mending effect or the thorns effect, so players see both without checking each piece.
Low durability warning
Armor pieces with low durability are flagged in the armor bar before they break.
Armor trim display
The trim applied to each armor piece is shown in the armor bar.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
26.x5 of 5 versions with builds

This mod also publishes snapshot builds. Snapshots are not shown in the matrix.

Use cases
Tracking gear during fights
A player can check which armor pieces are close to breaking and which carry thorns or mending without leaving the game view.
Planning enchantments
Protection colors and enchantment markers help a player see which pieces still need better enchantments.
Who it’s for: Players who wear several armor sets in survival or adventure play and want armor details on the HUD.
