Zap's Enhanced HUD Utilities
by zapaxe
Zap's Enhanced HUD Utilities puts a set of HUD readouts on screen, covering armor durability, keystrokes, combo count, reach and ping.
What it does
Equipped helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots each show a live durability bar with the raw point count. When a piece drops below a configurable percentage or point threshold, its readout is highlighted as a warning. Keystroke, click and reach readouts sit alongside, and the HUD Layout Editor is opened in game with Right Shift to arrange them.
The mod is aimed at PvP and survival players who want compact information on screen. Its readouts are built to avoid the micro-stutters and frame spikes that heavier HUD mods can cause, and layouts scale relative to the window resolution. Fabric API is required. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. Builds cover 1.21.11 – 26.2, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Live durability bars
Each worn armor piece shows its durability as a bar and as a raw point count, updated in real time.
Low-durability warnings
Readouts flash a highlight when a piece falls below the configured threshold, shown as a percentage or in points.
Stacking and ordering options
Elements can stack vertically or horizontally, render in reversed order and use custom text positioning.
Keystroke and click display
WASD, left and right mouse buttons, Shift, Control and Space are shown as keys, with clicks per second inside the mouse keys when Integrated CPS Indicators is present.

Use cases
PvP fights
A combo counter, reach readout and ping monitor together give a compact view of the numbers that matter in a duel.
Survival travel
Durability readouts for each armor piece show when gear needs repair before a trip.
Who it’s for: Players who want armor, input and combat readouts on screen without a heavy HUD mod. The HUD is client-side only, so it works in single-player and on multiplayer servers without server changes.
