Enemy Armor Hud
by DCP
With Enemy Armor Hud, a player can read the armor durability of the opponent in front of them while in combat, shown as a HUD overlay on the client.
What it does
When a player looks at another player, the HUD lists the four armor pieces they wear: helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots. Each piece can show its exact remaining durability as a number, or as the vanilla-style green and red progress bar drawn over the item, which the player can turn on in the settings.
Comparative values sit beside the opponent's numbers. The mod works out the difference between the viewer's armor and the target's armor, shows a green figure when the viewer has more durability left and a red figure when the viewer has less, for example 300 against 270 displayed as +30. The settings can be opened in-game, and the mod is integrated with Mod Menu.
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod that only changes the display of the screen, so the server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it. Files exist for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and the latest one is for 1.21.11, published under the MIT License. It is not open source.
