DuraHUD

by Renterq

DuraHUD shows tool and armor durability, active potion effects and their timers on the screen, in three separate displays that each use their own settings.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

Each display can be styled and positioned on its own. Armor durability reads from the helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots, while the main hand and off hand report their items separately. Durability can be shown as a percentage or as remaining points, with green, yellow and red bands that the player sets with thresholds and hex colors, so the state of each piece is visible at a glance without opening a menu.

The potion display lists active effects with their level in roman numerals, a remaining time in minutes and seconds or plain seconds, and a duration bar that takes the effect's own color. Effects can be sorted by ending soonest, longest left, name, or with helpful effects first. Infinite effects are shown as well. The vanilla effect icons can be hidden and replaced by the HUD entries, and the HUD can be moved away from the menu buttons that tend to open over it.

The mod runs on Fabric and is open source under the MIT License. It is client-side only, so a server needs nothing installed, and players can use it in single-player as well as on a server. Files are published for 1.21.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.11, with 1.3.0+1.21.11 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings screen.

Key features

  1. Three independent displays

    Armor, held items and potion effects each have a separate display with its own position, style and settings.

  2. Full and mini icon styles

    Durability can be drawn as a full icon with a bar and numbers, optionally with the item name, or as a compact mini icon with one value.

  3. Custom threshold bands

    Five color bands can each have their own threshold and hex color, and the unit can be percent or points.

  4. Effect timers with sorting

    Potion timers use minutes and seconds or plain seconds, and effects can be sorted by time left, name or helpfulness.

  5. Hide vanilla effect icons

    The game's own effect icons can be switched off, leaving the HUD entries with remaining time written out.

How it compares

Full comparison

Chronos Timer is an open source Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that is client-side only, covering timers rather than durability. Potions++ is not open source, runs on Fabric for 1.21.11 and needs the client and server together, so it differs in environment from DuraHUD. ArmorStatus is a closed-license Fabric option for 1.21.11 that is client-side only and only tracks armor.

What the author says

Three things you keep opening menus for, moved onto your HUD. How close your armor is to breaking, how many potions you are still carrying, and how long your effects have left — each one its own display, each one placed and styled the way you want it.
