Frequently asked questions

How do I turn Armor Chroma on or off?
Open the mod's config screen from the mod list and toggle the armor HUD option; the change applies immediately, so you can watch the bar switch between vanilla and Chroma styling as you flip it.
Why does my armor bar still look vanilla?
Another HUD mod is likely drawing over it, or the Chroma display is disabled in config. Check your config first, then test with other HUD mods disabled to find the conflict.
Does Armor Chroma show enchantments on armor?
Yes, enchanted pieces are marked in the HUD so you can tell at a glance which slots carry enchantments without opening your inventory.
Can I see what material my armor is made of in the HUD?
Yes, the display distinguishes armor by material, so leather, chain, iron, gold, diamond and other sets each read differently instead of all looking like the same generic icons.
