Durability Warner HUD
by Honny7
Durability Warner HUD shows a small durability indicator under the crosshair once the held item is close to breaking.
What it does
When the durability of the item in hand falls under 15, a compact indicator is drawn just beneath the crosshair. Its color shifts as the remaining durability falls, so the warning level can be read at a glance. The indicator stays hidden while durability is high, keeping the screen clear during ordinary play.
The mod is a lightweight client-side Fabric mod, released under the MIT License and not open source. Only the client needs it; a server can run without it. Builds are published for Fabric alone, covering 26.2 – 26.3, and the latest file is 1.0.0+26.3 for 26.3.
Key features
Low durability indicator
A small indicator appears below the crosshair only when the held item is close to breaking.
Color-coded warning levels
The indicator changes color as the remaining durability goes down, marking each stage of wear.
Damageable items supported
Tools, weapons and other damageable items are covered, so the warning works for the gear players use most.
Minimal screen footprint
The indicator is kept deliberately small so the HUD stays clean and the warning is still hard to miss.
