Detail Armor Bar Compat
by rhm176.
Detail Armor Bar Compat, by rhm176, connects several armor mod sets to the Detail Armor Bar HUD so their pieces show up in the bar.
What it does
Detail Armor Bar, a separate HUD mod, draws the armor values on screen. This compat mod supplies the matching entries for a set of armor and equipment mods, so their pieces are counted and displayed there. Fabric API is required, and Detail Armor Bar must be installed alongside it. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.
Progression and RPG packs also appear in the author notes, among them Majrusz's Progressive Difficulty, the Paladins Priests RPG Series and the Rogues Warriors RPG Series. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 1.17 – 1.21.8. The newest Fabric and Quilt files, 0.1.2+1.21.5, target 1.21.8, and the latest Forge file, 0.1.2+1.17.1, targets 1.19.1. Source code and an issue tracker are public. The first release came out on 2024-12-02, and the last update on 2025-07-25.
