Description from the author on Modrinth

Armor Hues

Color code your armor bar! Every armor point is shown in the colour of the armor!

Features

  • Per-material icons: leather (in its actual dye colour), chainmail, iron, gold, diamond, netherite, copper and turtle shell.
  • Mixed sets just work. shown in order from helmet - boots.
  • Enchanted pieces shimmer!
  • Past 20 armor? Points 21–30 go on a second row with a gold backplate. (For modded mostly, unless Mojang decides to include more armor points.)
  • Modded armor works automatically. Unknown materials get a neutral icon with a stable colour of their own, so different modded materials never look the same.
  • Armor from attributes or effects gets its own icon, and the bar always shows exactly the vanilla total.

Note: it should work for modded armor as well, if it every doesn't, please let me know via my discord server.

For modders and pack makers

Drop assets//armorhues/materials/.json into your mod or pack:

{ "sprite": "mymod:hud/armor/mythril", "tint": "#9FE3FF" }

The material is your armor's equipment asset_id.

Compatibility

  • Client-side only. Does not require server-side.
  • Requires Fabric API.
  • Replaces the armor bar, so other mods that also replace the armor bar will conflict. Mods that add elements above it are fine.
