Extra Armor Info
by mrmelon54
Extra Armor Info puts armour, toughness and knockback resistance values on the HUD, in positions a player can choose.
What it does
The HUD gains icons for armour, armour toughness and knockback resistance. Each value can be placed at the top left or right, the middle left or right, or the bottom left or right, and the middle positions stack the icons vertically. The display can sit above the armour status bar or the airtime status bar.
Settings allow the icon positions to be changed and the separate feature to be switched off. The icon textures are stored under the mod's assets folder, so they can be swapped for a resource pack. Extra Armor Info requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API on Fabric. It is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, covering the 1.20 – 1.20.4 range, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
Only the client needs the mod, since it changes the HUD and nothing on the server side. Its latest files for each loader are 1.0.1 for 1.20.4, released 2024-01-20, and the first release went out on 2023-07-22.
Key features
Armour value icons
Icons for armour, armour toughness and knockback resistance appear on the HUD next to the other status displays.
Six icon positions
Values can be placed at the top, middle or bottom of either side of the screen, to suit the layout of a HUD.
Vertical middle display
The middle left and middle right positions stack the icons vertically rather than in a row.
Status bar placement
The display can be aligned above the armour status bar or the airtime status bar.
Separate feature toggle
The separate display can be turned off in the settings, leaving the values inside the default HUD.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Checking gear on the fly
A player comparing armour sets can read toughness and knockback resistance without opening an inventory screen.
Who it’s for: Players who want armour numbers visible during play, and modpack makers who want a configurable armour readout on the client.
