microDurability Upgraded
by erikcool3
microDurability Upgraded is a Fabric client mod that shows armor durability bars just above the hotbar and warns when a tool or piece of armor is close to breaking.
What it does
The display is kept small so it takes little screen space: durability bars for worn armor sit directly above the hotbar, where the eye already rests during play. A warning appears when an item is nearly worn out, giving time to repair or replace it before it breaks in combat or mining.
The mod is a fork of microDurability by ReviversMC, which it credits as the original. Its source code and issue tracker are public, and the mod is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so it is open source. It runs on the client alone, so players join servers without installing anything extra. Files target Fabric only, and the single version covered is 26.2, with 0.4.0 as the latest file, published 2026-08-18.
Key features
Armor durability bars
Durability bars for worn armor are drawn directly above the hotbar, one per equipped piece.
Low-durability warnings
Warnings appear for equipped gear whose remaining durability drops low enough that it is about to break.
Minimal footprint
The overlay is built to take up as little screen space as possible, leaving the rest of the interface unchanged.
Fork of microDurability
The project is a derivative of the original microDurability by ReviversMC, with its source and issue tracker available to read or report to.

Use cases
Avoiding surprise breakage
The warnings flag gear before it breaks, which helps when a mid-fight failure would be costly.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 26.2 who want a compact durability display on their own client. Because it is client-side only, server owners do not need to install it, and players on any server can use it.
