Glance
by Rhseung
Glance is a Fabric client-side HUD and tooltip tweak for 1.21.3 that adds extra information to the health, armor, hunger and item displays.
What it does
Glance changes how several in-game displays read. Health above 20 is drawn as a bar that overlaps the existing one, shown in a contrasting shade rather than adding new rows, and armor above 20 appears as extra icons stacked to the left. The armor icon texture follows the equipped armor, and a saturation value appears beside the hunger bar.
Item tooltips are reorganized as well. Detailed text appears while Shift is held, a 3D model of worn armor can be shown in the same way, and tooltip colors follow the rarity of discs and enchanted books. Beehive overlays show the honey level, and a critical-hit indicator appears during melee attacks, while charging a bow, crossbow or trident also gets a readout.
Glance is published for Fabric only, as a single file for 1.21.3. It needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and it is released under the MIT License, so the code is open source. It runs on the client alone, and servers do not need it.
Key features
Overlapping health bar

How it compares
Furnace Progress Tooltip is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.3 under the MIT License, so it covers the same version with a narrower tooltip focus. ZerodayStyleHotbar is also client-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, but it targets 1.21.4 and changes the hotbar rather than the health and armor displays.
