ICNT
by humisan
ICNT shows the held item's icon and a live total count of matching items in the HUD, so players can see stock while they keep their eyes on the game.
What it does
The HUD readout counts every stack that matches the held item across the inventory, and it can show remaining durability for damageable tools. Because ICNT uses item data-aware matching, the count reflects the exact variant being held rather than just the base item ID, which keeps enchanted or named tools apart from plain ones.
Display position is set through a HUD layout that offers anchor positions, a free-position mode with X and Y offsets, and a drag-based editor. Two display styles, compact and detailed, control how much text appears. Durability text is optional, so the readout can stay minimal.
ICNT is a lightweight Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.8 that runs on the client alone. Settings for position, warnings, sounds and durability safety are reached through Mod Menu, and the mod needs no server component. Files exist only for Fabric 1.21.8, the latest being 1.0.0, released on 2026-03-06 under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

How it compares
Extra Position Show is a Fabric client-side mod released under the MIT License and built for 1.21 – 1.21.5, so it does not cover 1.21.8. Tools Durability HUD is also client-side and MIT licensed, but only for 1.21.4. HUDForge is client-side, open source under the MIT License and targets 1.21.11, a version ICNT does not support.
