About this Mod

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve released a mod. Life got in the way for a bit, but I’m back with something I’ve wanted for a long time.

Yes, I took inspiration from Lunar Client’s armor HUD — but as a Bedwars player, I noticed something missing. Lunar doesn’t let you view protection values without opening your inventory. That’s a huge deal in PvP, so I decided to make my own version with the functionality I always wished was there.

So here it is: Lunar Armor HUD — a mod inspired by Lunar but with my own twist. I hope it helps you as much as it helps me.

About This Mod

Lunar Armor HUD is a lightweight Forge mod for Minecraft 1.8.9 that brings a Lunar Client–inspired armor durability HUD to your game.
It shows your equipped armor pieces right on your screen, with either durability or protection details — no need to open your inventory mid-fight.

This mod is perfect for PvP players (Bedwars, Skywars, UHC, Skyblock) and survival players who want to avoid the frustration of armor breaking at the worst possible moment.

How to Use

Right Alt (R-ALT) → Opens the Armor HUD settings menu.

FAQ

Q: Does this give unfair advantages?
A: No. It only displays information already available in your inventory — just in a cleaner, faster way.

Q: Is this Hypixel-safe?
A: Yes! This mod is 100% safe to use on Hypixel and similar servers.

Q: Can I change the keybind?
A: Absolutely. You can remap it under Minecraft Settings → Controls → Lunar Armor HUD.

Q: What versions are supported?
A: This release is for Minecraft Forge 1.8.9. If there’s enough demand, I’ll look into updating it for newer versions.

Final Words

The Lunar Armor HUD is designed to give players a simple, Lunar-style armor display with extra functionality that even the Lunar Client doesn’t offer. Whether you’re grinding Survival or fighting in Bedwars, this mod makes sure you’re always on top of your gear’s durability and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Lunar Armor Hud need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Lunar Armor Hud as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Lunar Armor Hud require?

Use a file for forge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.8.9. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Lunar Armor Hud is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
