About this project

What does Armor Warning add?

🛡️ Armor Warning

Never break your expensive armor or Elytras again! Armor Warning is a lightweight, client-side utility mod designed to save your gear from accidental destruction. It stays hidden when your armor is healthy and only alerts you when it's time for a repair.

✨ Key Features

  • Smart HUD Visibility: The HUD is hidden by default to keep your screen clean. It only appears when a piece of armor drops below the warning threshold (default: 30%).
  • Dynamic Color Coding: The durability percentage changes color as it gets more dangerous:
  • 🟡 Yellow/Gold: Initial Warning (30% - 21%).
  • 🟠 Orange: Moderate Danger (20% - 11%).
  • 🔴 Red: Critical Level (≤10%).
  • Breathing Animation: When durability is Critical (10% or less), the text performs a smooth "breathing" fade-in/out effect to ensure you notice the danger during intense combat.
  • Audio Alerts: A subtle chime sounds the moment a piece hits the warning threshold. Includes a 60-second cooldown per slot to avoid annoying sound loops.
  • Fully Configurable: Customize the 30% threshold and toggle sounds/animations in the config file.

🔧 Technical Details

  • Client-Side Only: This mod does not need to be installed on the server. Works on Vanilla, Realms, and Forge servers.
  • Compatibility: Designed for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge).
  • Modpack Friendly: You are free to include this mod in any modpack!
