MovableArmorHud
by NebulaJinxed
MovableArmorHud shows the player's armor durability on a HUD element that can be dragged, resized and faded anywhere on the screen, and it needs MovableHud to run.
What it does
The HUD element lets a player see how each armor piece is doing at a glance. Its position, scale and transparency are set in an edit screen, and the layout it saves is loaded again the next time Minecraft starts, so a custom arrangement does not have to be rebuilt. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything.
MovableArmorHud depends on MovableHud, which provides the moving and scaling system the armor display is built on. Files are published for Fabric only, for four game versions 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, and the code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. The latest Fabric file, 1.0.1 for 1.21.11, was posted on 2026-01-15, a day after the first release.
Key features
Armor status display
A HUD element shows how well each worn armor piece is holding up, so the player can check it during play.
Drag to move
Left-click and drag moves the armor element to any spot on the screen.
Right-click resize
Right-click and drag scales the element, with the size changing smoothly as the mouse moves.
Adjustable transparency
The opacity of the element can be lowered so it stays visible without covering the game view.
Saved layout
The chosen position, size and transparency are restored automatically each time the game starts.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want to see armor condition during play and arrange their own HUD. It is a client mod, so it fits single-player and multiplayer clients that already run MovableHud.
How it compares
hud mover is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11, released under the MIT License and not open source, so it covers a narrower version range than this mod. Cinnamon Client is also client-side only, but it is published for 1.21.5 – 1.21.8 under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source. TotemCounterV2 is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11 that is open source under the MIT License, so its code can be read and changed.
