Simple Armour Hud

by sqidgeon

Simple Armour Hud places the armour pieces a player is wearing in a small display beside the hotbar, so wear levels stay visible during play.

What it does

Armour HUD, the mod's own display, sits next to the hotbar and stays on screen while inventories, chests and other menus are open. It can be laid out as a horizontal row that matches the hotbar or as a vertical stack, and its position can be dragged anywhere on screen or set with X and Y sliders in the settings.

Each armour slot can be hidden on its own, so helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots are toggled independently. A durability percentage can be shown beside each piece, colour-coded green for healthy, yellow for worn and red for nearly broken. Settings open directly from Mod Menu or through the config file, which the author notes still lists as needing editing.

The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, and is client-side only, so servers and other players do not need it. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.1, first published on 2026-03-21 and updated on 2026-03-23.

Key features

  3. Durability percentage

    An optional colour-coded percentage appears next to each piece, from green through yellow to red as it nears breaking.

    Helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots can each be hidden independently.

  5. Movable position

    The HUD can be dragged anywhere on screen or placed precisely with X and Y sliders.

How it compares

Full comparison

Armour Durablity Hud is a Fabric, client-side only option for 1.21 – 26.3 released under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Armor HUD is also client-side only and runs on Fabric for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, but it is open source under the MIT License. No Netherite Armour takes a different approach: it runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.2 – 26.3, is server required with an optional client, and is released under the MIT License without being open source.
