Elytra Durability Indicator
by Hoshin
Elytra Durability Indicator shows the remaining durability of a worn elytra as a small bar just below the crosshair.
What it does
The indicator draws a compact readout under the crosshair while a player flies with an elytra, so durability can be checked without opening the inventory. Originally written for the Vampires Strikes Back modpack while it was still in development, the mod is one small client feature and not a broader system.
Only the client needs the mod, so players can use it on any Forge 1.20.1 server without the server installing anything. The Elytra icon can be swapped through a 16x16 texture in a texture pack, and the bar's values, offsets, sizes and color are set in the mod's client config. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
Key features
Crosshair durability bar
A small bar renders the elytra's durability directly below the crosshair while the player is flying.
Configurable bar
The bar's values, offsets, sizes and color can be adjusted in the mod's client config file.
Texture-replaceable icon
The elytra icon uses a 16x16 texture at modid:textures/gui/elytra icon, which a texture pack can replace.
