Inventory Hud +
by Soulspeed
Inventory HUD+ shows armor and tool durability on screen, along with key inventory items, for players who track gear during fights.
What it does
The mod draws a small on-screen panel that lists durability for equipped armor and held tools, so a player can see wear without opening the inventory. An on-screen inventory preview keeps the most relevant items visible while moving through a world, and the display is kept compact so it stays out of the way of the hotbar and crosshair.
Its authors built the mod for PvP and survival play, where a broken piece of gear can decide a fight. Players in duels, UHC matches and deep dungeons can check their gear status at a glance and react faster. It runs on the client alone, so servers do not need to install anything, and it is published for Fabric only. The latest file is 1.0.3 for 1.21.4, released on 2026-03-17, and earlier builds cover the other 1.21 releases. The mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
Live durability tracking
Durability values for equipped armor and held tools update as the player takes damage or repairs an item.
On-screen inventory preview
Key inventory items appear on the HUD, so the player can check stacks without switching screens.
Compact display
The interface takes up little space, leaving the hotbar and center of the screen clear during combat.
Combat-focused layout
Gear status sits near the center of the screen, placed so it can be read while the player is moving or fighting.

Use cases
PvP and duels
A player in a one-on-one fight can see armor wear without pausing to open the inventory.
Dungeons and exploration
Tools that wear down quickly can be monitored while the player is far from a workbench or anvil.
Who it’s for: Players who play survival or PvP on Fabric and want gear status visible during play. Only the client needs the mod, so it can be used on any server without asking the server owner to install it.
How it compares
Armor HUD is Fabric-only and client-side only, but its files are published for 1.21.11 and its license is All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Tools Durability HUD is also Fabric-only and client-side only, with files for 1.21.4 under the MIT License; it is not open source either. Inventory HUD+ is the only one of these three that targets the 1.21 releases from 1.21.1 onward, and it is not open source.
