Detail Armor Bar Mod makes Minecraft's armor HUD easier to read at a glance by adding clearer visual cues to the status bar. Enchanted armor shows a blue animation, Netherite armor appears darker and animated, and extra effects highlight details like mending, thorns, and low durability. For players who want more readable armor feedback without changing the core look of the game, this is a small but useful visual upgrade.
Key Features
- Gives the armor bar a distinct Netherite appearance with a darker, animated look.
- Adds color effects tied to enchantment protection types for clearer status feedback.
- Shows a dedicated visual effect for armor with Mending.
- Displays a Thorns overlay or effect on supported armor pieces.
- Warns visually when armor durability is running low.
