Old Armor HUD
by SaladaFritas
Old Armor HUD moves the armor indicator back above the health bar, where it sat in older versions of the game.
What it does
The armor indicator is placed directly above the hearts, and the oxygen bar moves to the top, so its position follows the number of heart rows. The change is for players who want the hunger bar on the right side while keeping armor next to health. Fabric API is required. The mod runs on the client alone, and files are published for Fabric only, for 26.2 and 26.3, under the MIT License; it is not open source.

What the author says
Just a mod that I made for myself to use with the Matcha Flavoured datapack. Since there is no hunger bar, I wanted to leave the armor indicator to the right of the health, like in the old days.
