About this Mod

This is a mod for HotbarAPI thats replaces the default armor bar with a far more advanced one.

The new armor bar will render:

Each type of armor you have equipped (with data driven support for other armor types).
Whether the armor is enchanted or not. (Broken on 1.21.5 and onward. Blame mojang)
Armor toughness.
And the color of leather armor you are wearing!

If you are using this in a heavily-modded environment, it is recommended to use a mod such as AttributeFix to uncap attribute values
