Armor HUD

Your worn armor and its durability in a column left to the off-hand slot.
Armor Status — Horizon mod
An armor HUD for Horizon: your armor and held items with durability in Java Edition's green, yellow, orange and red.
Armor Status by CayMac is an ArmorStatusHUD-style overlay: your armor and whatever is in your hands, with durability, always on screen. No more opening the inventory mid-fight to check whether your helmet is about to go. It suits PvP players, long Nether expeditions, and anyone who has lost a good pickaxe because they didn't notice it was nearly broken.
Features
- All four armor slots (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots) plus main hand and off hand.
- Java Edition durability colours: green above 50%, yellow from 25%, orange from 10%, red below 10%.
- Stack counts for held items that don't wear out: food, blocks, torches.
- Settings (Options > Mods > Armor Status): position, durability format (value, percentage or fraction), which hand items to show (both, main, off hand or armor only), and a translucent background box.
Compatibility and install
Native mod, version 1.0.0, for Minecraft 26.3, signed by its author. Install it from your instance's Mods page in the launcher, then press Build in the "Native build of …" row. The first native build downloads Rust and takes 20–30 minutes and a few GB; afterwards builds take a few minutes. Full steps: the install guide.
Limitations
It's a first release and purely visual: the description mentions no low-durability warnings or sounds, just the overlay. Native mods aren't sandboxed, so install it only if you trust the author.

FAQ
How is durability shown?
As the remaining value, a percentage or a fraction, coloured like Java Edition: green above 50%, yellow from 25%, orange from 10%, red below 10%.
Where does the overlay sit?
Bottom right by default. You can move it beside the hotbar on either side, to the top left or right, or the bottom left.
Does it show block counts?
Yes. Held items that don't wear out, like food, blocks and torches, show their stack count.
How do I install Armor Status?
From the Horizon launcher: Mods page → find "Armor Status" → Install. The launcher checks the SHA-256 and the author's signature for you. A native mod is then compiled with the Build button — the first build takes 20–30 minutes. The full steps are in "How to install" above.
Which Minecraft version does Armor Status support?
The latest version, 1.0.0, targets Minecraft 26.3 on Horizon.
Can I download Armor Status from this site?
Yes. Its MIT license allows redistribution, so we host the file, and its SHA-256 matches the official registry.
