Durability Indicator
by Extraherz
Durability Indicator, a NeoForge utility, shows the remaining durability of held tools and worn armor pieces as numbers or a percentage above the bar.
What it does
On NeoForge for 1.21.1, the mod adds a durability tooltip and draws the current durability value over the durability bar of tools and armor. The durability can be shown as a left percentage in the tooltip, as a number above the bar, or both, so a player can read how much use an item has left without opening a menu.
The bar colour changes as durability falls past the 100, 75, 50 and 25 percent marks. The durability tooltip can be switched off when it is not wanted, and further display options let a player choose which figures appear. Durability Indicator was inspired by the Durability101 mod and is open source under the MIT License.
It runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers do not need it. Files exist for NeoForge only and target 1.21.1, with 1.0.1 as the latest file. The author notes that more configurable features and other loaders and versions may follow.

Use cases
Checking tools mid-task
A player mining or farming can read how much durability a pickaxe or hoe has left without leaving the game view.
Tracking armor wear
Each armor piece shows its own figure, so a player can see which part of a set needs repair first.
Who it’s for: Players on NeoForge 1.21.1 who want durability figures on their own screen. Only the client needs the mod, so it suits single-player and multiplayer players alike.
