Lunar Armor Hud
by RGRakib
Lunar Armor HUD shows the armor pieces a player wears on screen, with either durability or protection values, so the stats stay visible without opening the inventory.
What it does
The Forge mod draws the equipped armor pieces in a corner or beside the inventory, and each piece can show remaining durability, for example 151/364, or the protection value from its enchantments. The display is modeled on the armor panel in Lunar Client and adds options that the Lunar version does not offer. Players can keep the HUD off, choose one of six preset positions, or toggle a border around the armor icons.
The settings menu opens with the Right Alt key, and the R-ALT binding is shown in the same place. The mod only reads information already present in the player's inventory, so it changes nothing in combat and gives no advantage. The author states it is meant for PvP modes such as Bedwars, Skywars and UHC, as well as Skyblock and survival, where armor breaking mid-fight is the moment the display helps most.
Installation requires Forge, and the mod is built for Minecraft 1.8.9 only. The latest file, 2.0 for 1.8.9, was published on 2025-09-08, and the first release was on 2025-08-18. It runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

What the author says
Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve released a mod. Life got in the way for a bit, but I’m back with something I’ve wanted for a long time. Yes, I took inspiration from Lunar Client’s armor HUD — but as a Bedwars player, I noticed something missing. Lunar doesn’t let you view protection values without opening…
