Show Durability HUD
by Colbaska02
Show Durability HUD displays the remaining durability of tools and armor on the player's screen, so a worn item can be checked during play without opening its inventory slot.
What it does
The mod adds a durability display to the heads-up display, covering armor pieces and tools as they wear down. It also shows information about the strength of items inside shulker boxes, which helps when a player is sorting or carrying gear. Warnings appear on screen when an item is close to breaking, so a player can swap it before it is lost mid-task.
Some warnings cover other hazards. The mod can alert a player to an attacking enderman, to a nearby explosive that is about to detonate, and to air running out while underwater. Everything is configurable through a settings menu opened with F8 in game, with options for which warnings appear and how the display looks.
The mod is client-side only, so players install it alone and servers do not need it, even when joining multiplayer servers. It targets Fabric for 1.21.11 and the 26.1 builds, with the latest file covering 26.1.2. The code is under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
