DURA PULSE
by Blackwors
Players who want to track gear before it breaks can add DuraPulse, a Fabric HUD mod that flags low-durability armor and tools in the hotbar and armor display.
What it does
DuraPulse watches the equipped armor and the items in the hotbar. When a tool or armor piece falls below 10% durability, its slot pulses red, and at 2% the warning becomes critical. Small color-coded percentages are drawn over hotbar items so durability can be read at a glance. The mod works entirely on the client, so only the player who installs it needs it, and no server-side installation is required.
Several other features cover the rest of the play loop. Auto-Totem keeps a Totem of Undying ready in the offhand and replaces it as soon as one is used. When a worn item is about to break, the mod can search the player's bag for a spare piece of the same kind and equip it on its own. An interactive in-game HUD editor lets players drag, drop and scale the armor display, with options to move, scale and group the armor view vertically. The mod is published for Fabric only, across the 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 range, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source.
