Durability Digits
by 02Alexis
Durability Digits shows the exact remaining durability of tools and armor as numbers drawn over item icons on the Fabric client.
What it does
Each gear item in the inventory receives a numerical overlay in place of the colored durability bar, so the remaining uses can be read directly. Large values are condensed, with 1.5k or 2.1m shown instead of the full figure, which keeps the interface readable on items with high durability. The overlay can switch from raw values to a percentage, with the number of decimal places set in the options.
The overlay can be moved to a corner of the item slot or to its center, and the vanilla bar can be kept, hidden or left in place beside the digits. The settings sit in an in-game menu built with YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), which is required along with Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional and provides a way to open that menu from the mod list.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.21 – 26.2, and the latest file is 2.1.0+mc26.2 for 26.2. The license is custom and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Numerical overlays
Remaining durability appears as a number on each damageable item icon, replacing the vague colored bar.
Smart number formatting
Large values are shortened automatically, so a value in the thousands or higher stays short enough to fit the slot.
Percentage mode
Durability can be shown as raw points or as a percentage, with optional decimal precision.
Corner or center placement
The text can be placed in a corner of the item slot or centered on it, according to the player's preference.
Vanilla bar option
The original durability bar can be kept, hidden, or left alongside the numbers for a minimalist look.

How it compares
Modern Armor Bar is a Fabric client-side mod with files for 26.1 – 26.3, released under the MIT License and open source. ArmorStats HUD is also client-side and under the MIT License, but it is not open source and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.4. Armor HUD Numbers is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, client-side only, and built for 1.21 – 1.21.10. Durability Digits instead targets the item slots themselves, not a separate HUD panel.
