Durability 101
Durability 101 shows a numeric durability value in an overlay above the hotbar for the held item, colored on a green-to-red scale.
What it does
The overlay sits above the hotbar and displays the remaining durability of the item a player holds as a number. The number takes its color from how much durability the item has left, moving from green toward red as it wears down. Durability 101 takes its design from the earlier Durability101 mod, which RedBanHammer made first. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can use it alone. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and it is published for Fabric and Babric on b1.7.3, with snapshot builds also published.
Key features
Numeric durability overlay
A number above the hotbar shows the remaining durability of the held item in place of a bar.
Color-coded value
The number shifts from green to red in proportion to the durability the item has used up.
Held item tracking
The overlay follows the item currently selected in the hotbar, so the value updates as the player switches items.
