About this Mod

This mod adds a minimalist vanilla-like widget that shows your armor items and a warning if durability is low enough. While other mods expect the player to look at numbers all over the screen, this mod allows to see your armor items in a vanilla-style minimalist widget without extra text or numbers. Position and other parameters of the widget can be adjusted in the configuration file.

Made for legacy (and the best) 1.12.2 Minecraft version

Inspired by uku's Armor HUD, original mod by BerdinskiyBear
