JustArmorHud
by Corianderr
JustArmorHud shows the armor and held items of a player on the Fabric HUD, with layout and color options set by the player.
What it does
The HUD draws the equipped armor pieces and held items in a row or a column, and the layout can be switched between horizontal and vertical. Each slot is spaced with a scale and gap setting, so the display can be fitted to the screen. The mod is a client-side addition: only the player running it sees the overlay, and no server install is needed.
Colors of the displayed elements can be toggled, which lets the overlay match a resource pack or stand out against the game view. The author describes it as an advanced ArmourHud, with options that go beyond a basic armor readout. The mod is published for Fabric only, with builds covering 1.21 – 26.2 and the latest file, 3.0, dated 2026-09-01. JustArmorHud is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Players who use other equipment or HUD mods can compare the options against these alternatives before choosing one. The mod was first published on 2025-07-29 and last updated on 2026-09-01.

Who it’s for: Players who want to track their equipment on the HUD during play, on the Fabric loader.

Advanced Equipment is a Fabric and Quilt mod for 1.21 – 1.21.1 that runs on client and server, unlike the client-only environment of JustArmorHud.
