What it does

The mod draws armor durability, enchantment status and equipped items on the HUD as a compact element. Players can check gear during combat, mining or travel without leaving the game view. The layout and position of the element can be changed, so it can be moved away from the crosshair or chat.

Survival, PvP and modded playthroughs are where quick gear checks pay off, and that is the setting HUD Armor is meant for. It is a Fabric mod for version 1.21.10, and its files also cover 1.21.9. It runs on the client alone, so a server needs no installation and players join without it on their side only if they skip the mod. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Live durability readout

    Durability of each armor piece updates in real time as items take damage, so wear is visible at a glance.

  2. Enchantment and item display

    Enchantment status and equipped items appear on the HUD, so gear can be checked without opening the inventory.

  3. Adjustable layout

    The element can be repositioned and rearranged to suit the screen and the rest of the interface.

  4. Light footprint

    The display is kept minimal so it stays unobtrusive on screen during play.
