About this project

What does armordurability add?

🛡️ ArmorDurability

ArmorDurability is a lightweight client-side Fabric mod that visually indicates the durability of your armor in real time.

No more guessing when your gear is about to break — your armor will change color dynamically based on its remaining durability.

🎨 Features
🔹 Dynamic color system
🟢 Green — high durability (70–100%)
🟡 Yellow — medium durability (30–69%)
🔴 Red — low durability (0–29%)
🔹 Works with all armor pieces
Helmet
Chestplate
Leggings
Boots
🔹 Client-side only
Safe to use on any server — no installation required server-side.
🔹 Purely visual
Does not modify item data or gameplay mechanics.
⚙️ Technical Details
Built for Fabric 1.20.1
Uses rendering hooks / overlays to tint armor based on durability
Compatible with most mods that don’t heavily modify armor rendering
💡 Why use ArmorDurability?

Vanilla Minecraft only shows durability as a small bar in your inventory — easy to miss in combat.

ArmorDurability brings that information directly into the world, making it:

easier to react during fights
more immersive
visually intuitive
🚀 Installation
Install Fabric Loader
Install Fabric API
Drop the mod .jar into your mods folder
Launch the game
📌 Notes
This mod is client-side only
If another mod replaces armor rendering, compatibility may vary
