Overloaded Armor Bar Mod FAQ
15 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I change the colors of the armor icons?
Open the mod's config file and edit the color values assigned to each armor bar tier, then restart the game or reload the config. Each time the bar fills past vanilla max, the next tier uses its own configurable color.
Why does my armor bar stop changing color after a certain point?
Without 
AttributeFix installed, vanilla caps armor at a hard limit, so the bar can't display values beyond roughly one and a half times diamond. Install AttributeFix to remove that cap and let the bar wrap further.

Enable the 'show empty armor bar' option in the config. This keeps the bar visible even with no armor equipped so you always know where it sits on your HUD.
How do I hide the empty armor icons?
Turn on the 'hide empty icons' setting in the config. Only filled armor points will render instead of showing faded empty slots.
How do I read the armor bar when I have better-than-diamond armor?
Each time the bar fills completely, it wraps and starts again in a new color, so the number of full wraps tells you how many times over the vanilla max you are. The color of the current wrap indicates which tier you're on.
Does this mod need to be installed on the server?
No, it's client-side only. You can join any server with it installed and it will still render your armor bar correctly.
Is Overloaded Armor Bar compatible with mods that add extra health bars?
Yes, it's designed to be compatible with mods that add additional health bars. It positions itself so it doesn't conflict with those extra bars.
Why is my armor bar overlapping other HUD elements?
The bar's position may clash with other HUD mods. Adjust its offset in the config or move the conflicting HUD element so they don't stack on top of each other.
Why isn't my armor bar showing up at all?
Check that the mod is enabled and that the 'show empty armor bar' option is on if you have no armor. If it's still missing, another HUD mod may be drawing over it, so try moving that mod's element.
Does this mod hurt performance?
No, it only changes how the armor bar is rendered and doesn't add any ongoing calculations. The performance impact is negligible.
How do I get started with the Overloaded Armor Bar Mod?
Just install the mod and launch the game — it works out of the box with no setup required. The armor bar will automatically start wrapping and changing colors once your armor value exceeds a full vanilla bar.
Can I change the colors of the armor bar icons?
Yes, the colors for each wrap tier are configurable in the mod's config file. Each time the bar fills and wraps, it uses the next color you've set.
How do I read the wrapping armor bar when my armor is better than diamond?
Each full bar represents one complete set of armor points, and the bar wraps around with a new color for each additional layer. The number of wraps and their colors tell you how far past diamond-level you are.
Will this mod hurt my performance?
No, it only changes how the armor bar is rendered and has negligible impact on performance. It doesn't add any background processing or world changes.
How is this different from Overpowered Armor Bar?
Overloaded Armor Bar is a fork of Overpowered Armor Bar, meaning it's based on the same code but maintained separately. It keeps the wrapping armor display and adds its own tweaks and config options.
