vWidgets
vWidgets lets players build a custom on-screen HUD from small widgets such as an FPS counter, a server ping display and an armor readout.
What it does
Each widget is a separate module that can be enabled, positioned and scaled on its own. The available modules cover armor with durability values and percentages, the held item, the offhand slot placed next to the hotbar, a vanilla-style inventory display, a CPS counter, coordinates, FPS and server ping. Every widget starts disabled, so a player's HUD only shows what that player chooses to turn on.
Layout is set in the vWidgets editor, which is opened from the game and lets a player place widgets and adjust their scale. Right-click supports overlays and widgets inside the editor, and additional settings are reached from there. The armor durability text can be placed to the left, right, above or below the item.
The mod is built for Fabric and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. Files cover 17 release versions, from the 1.21 line through 26.3, and the latest Fabric file is 2.1.3+fabric.26.x for 26.3. The code is not open source, and all rights are reserved by Veldran Studios.

Armor HUD with durability

Held item and offhand
The held item uses the same style as the armor HUD, and the offhand slot can be shown next to the hotbar.
