About

Armor HUD

Armor HUD adds a clean, fully configurable armor display to your in-game screen, letting you monitor your equipped gear and durability — no inventory screen needed.

The HUD renders a compact row showing your currently equipped armor pieces (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots) using their item icons along with vanilla durability overlays. If a slot is empty, it’s automatically hidden so the bar always stays minimal and uncluttered.


🧭 Flexible Placement

By default, the armor bar sits next to the hotbar, but you can move it anywhere that fits your UI layout:

  • Hotbar Left / Right
  • Top Left / Top Center / Top Right
  • Bottom Left / Right

When placed on Hotbar Left, the HUD dynamically shifts to avoid overlapping your offhand item (like shields or totems). In all other positions, it stays fixed exactly where you place it.


🎨 Visual Customization

Armor HUD includes a built-in settings screen (accessible via a configurable keybind in Controls) where you can fully customize its appearance.

Style Presets

Choose from multiple panel styles that adjust shape and finish:

  • Rounded
  • Sharp
  • Minimal
  • Soft
  • Flat
  • Ghost
  • Bevel
  • Matte
  • Glass

Color Themes

A wide selection of themes lets you match the HUD to your UI or resource pack:

Charcoal • Steel • Sand • Moss • Cobalt • Obsidian • Iron • Copper • Emerald • Rose • Ice • Slate • Ash • Bronze • Teal • Navy • Plum • Olive • Ember • Sage


🚨 Durability Warning System

Never get caught with broken armor again.

When any armor piece drops below a configurable durability threshold (default 15%), an animated warning badge appears near the affected slot.

  • Badge placement adapts to HUD position
  • Subtle bounce animation draws attention
  • Warning color is configurable
  • Can be disabled entirely

⚙️ Settings & Persistence

All options are available in an in-game config screen:

  • Toggle HUD visibility
  • Change placement
  • Select styles
  • Pick color themes
  • Adjust warning threshold

Settings are saved to a config file and persist between game launches.
