ArmorStatusHUD Mod Wiki

ArmorStatusHUD is a utility mod designed to provide players with immediate visual feedback on the durability of their equipped armor and the item they are currently holding. This information is displayed directly on the screen as part of the heads-up display (HUD), removing the necessity to frequently open the inventory to check item status. The mod aims to streamline gameplay by making critical durability data readily accessible, allowing players to anticipate item breakage and manage their gear more effectively.

The core mechanic of ArmorStatusHUD involves rendering an overlay on the player's screen that dynamically updates to reflect the condition of their worn armor pieces (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots) and the item in their main hand.

Key aspects of its display include:

• Durability Values: Numerical representation of remaining durability for each item.
• Item Names: The name of the equipped armor piece or held item.
• Color Coding: Durability values are often color-coded to provide a quick visual indicator of an item's condition, typically transitioning from green (high durability) to red (low durability).
• Damage Text: Text indicating the damage taken by an item may appear.
• Arrow Count: For bows, the mod can also display the number of arrows remaining in the player's inventory.

ArmorStatusHUD offers extensive configuration options, allowing players to customize the display to suit their preferences. These settings can typically be accessed and adjusted through an in-game graphical user interface (GUI) or by directly editing a configuration file.

Common configurable features include:

• HUD Position: Players can realign the location of the HUD elements on the screen, choosing from various predefined positions or fine-tuning coordinates.
• Feature Visibility: Individual features, such as specific armor slots, the held item display, or durability text, can be toggled on or off.
• Display Details: Options to show or hide item names, durability values, damage text, and other specific information.
• Color Customization: The colors used for durability indicators can often be adjusted.

Accessing the in-game configuration GUI is typically done via a command: /armorstatus config. This command opens a menu where most display settings can be modified interactively.

The ArmorStatusHUD mod requires bspkrsCore to function. bspkrsCore is a shared library that provides common classes and utilities used by several mods developed by bspkrs, including ArmorStatusHUD. This core mod must be installed alongside ArmorStatusHUD for the latter to operate correctly.
