GearTags
GearTags, a Fabric client mod, draws the durability of other players' armor and held items as color-coded text above their heads.
What it does
Players who want to judge a fight can see the gear other players wear and hold. GearTags shows an overlay above each player, in the same place as a nametag, listing the armor and weapons equipped and the durability left on each. Durability text is color-coded, so a worn piece can be read at a glance without opening any menu.
The overlay works on any server, whether vanilla or modded, because it runs only on the client and changes nothing on the server side. Its display can be configured, including the visuals of the item icon text, and simple commands and a menu control it. Fabric API and Cloth Config API are required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings.
The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code is public. Files are published for Fabric only, across 18 release versions, with 1.2 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, updated on 2026-02-11.
