fixpot's Armor HUD
by imthefixpot
fixpot's Armor HUD shows the armor a player wears directly on the screen, with durability information drawn in a vanilla-style look.
What it does
The mod displays equipped armor on the HUD, so durability can be read during play without opening the inventory. Durability can be shown as bars, as a number, or as a percentage, and low durability triggers a warning. A sound plays when an armor piece is about to break.
The HUD keeps the clean look of the vanilla interface and offers several layouts and customization options. It is a client-side Fabric mod, so only the player's game needs it, and servers can run without it. FixLib must be installed alongside it, and the mod does not load without FixLib. Fabric API is required as well.
The mod is built on uku's Armor HUD and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Files are published for Fabric only, for 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.1.0 for 26.3 as the latest file. The author states the mod is kept up to date for future game updates.

Use cases
Checking gear during combat
A player can watch armor durability while fighting, without stopping to open the inventory screen.
Tracking wear on long trips

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want armor durability visible during play. Because the mod is client-side, server owners do not need to install it.
