Fancy ArmorViewer
by TigreSoto1
Fancy ArmorViewer shows the durability of a nearby player's equipped armor above their head, so the damage on an opponent's gear can be read without opening inventories.
What it does
Armor readings appear over each nearby player, so a fight can be judged at a glance. The display is light and sits clear of the crosshair, which keeps attention on the battle. It is a client-side Java mod for Fabric, and only the client needs it.
Fancy ArmorViewer suits PvP servers and other multiplayer play where an opponent's gear condition matters. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.20.4 – 26.1.2, and its files are under All rights reserved.
Key features
Armor durability overhead
The remaining durability of each piece of a nearby player's armor is shown above that player's head.
Instant readings
Wear is visible without opening an inventory or estimating damage by eye during a fight.
Non-intrusive display
The readings are drawn cleanly and stay out of the way of the combat view.
