numbar
by baltdev
numbar shows exact numbers on the bars that Minecraft already draws for durability, XP, health, food, breath and boss health.
What it does
On its own, the game draws most of these as progress bars with no figures. numbar keeps the bars and adds the numeric values beside them: durability is shown as a count, boss bars as a percentage from 0% to 100%, and the XP bar gets a number for how many points remain before the following level. Food shows its saturation value in parentheses, and absorption health appears as a yellow +N, where N is the number of bonus hearts.
Health reflects potion effects such as freezing or hardcore modes, and the bundle capacity is shown as a percentage alongside the other non-durability item bars. Cooldowns are read directly from the game rather than estimated, so the displayed seconds and ticks match the actual timer. The mod requires Cloth Config API for its settings screen, and every bar can be turned on or off in the mod config. numbar runs on the client alone and is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.21.5 and 1.21.6; the latest is 1.1.0 for 1.21.6, released 2025-06-18, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
Key features
Durability numbers
Item durability is written out as a number instead of appearing only as a bar that fills and empties.
Boss bar percentages
Boss health is measured from 0% to 100% next to the bar, so the remaining amount can be read at a glance.
XP to following level
The XP bar shows how many points remain before the following level, rather than only how full the bar is.
Food saturation and absorption
Food displays its saturation value in parentheses, and absorption hearts are marked with a yellow +N.
Configurable bars
Each bar, including armor, breath, health and bundle capacity, can be switched on or off in the mod config.

How it compares
GearHud is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.10, licensed under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Percent Durability is also client-side and MIT licensed, and it targets 1.21.8 only. Item Durability HUD covers 1.21.11 and is likewise client-side and not open source, so it does not overlap with numbar's 1.21.5 – 1.21.6 range.
