DuraView
DuraView is a client-side HUD mod that shows the durability of worn armor, held tools and weapons on screen in real time.
What it does
Once installed, DuraView detects equipped items as they change and draws durability bars for them on the heads-up display, so a player can see how much use a piece of gear has left without opening the inventory. Bars shift from green to yellow to red as durability drops, which makes items close to breaking simple to spot at a glance.
Layout is adjustable. Position, size and the visibility of each element can be set in the configuration screen, and the HUD itself can be toggled on or off. The settings menu opens with the K key by default and can be rebound. The interface is kept minimal so it does not crowd the rest of the screen, and the mod is described as having a light effect on game performance.
DuraView is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Its files cover 23 release versions 1.12.2 – 26.2, and the latest file for each loader is version 1.0.2, dated 2026-07-06. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
