Simple Armor Hud Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I open the armor hud settings?
Open your mod menu or config screen and find the Simple Armor Hud entry, then click its config button. Most players reach it through the Mods list on the main menu or the in-game mod menu.
Does the armor hud show up automatically or do I have to turn it on?
It displays by default once the mod is loaded, showing your equipped armor and its durability on the HUD. If it is not visible, check that the HUD toggle is enabled in the config.
How do I move the armor hud to a different corner of the screen?
Open the mod's config screen and drag the HUD element to where you want it, or adjust the position sliders if the config uses them. The change saves automatically and applies immediately.
How do I turn the armor hud off?
Open the config and disable the HUD toggle, or bind and press the toggle key if one is set. This hides the display without uninstalling the mod.
Why is my armor hud overlapping my health bar or hotbar?
The HUD is still in its default position, which can collide with vanilla interface elements. Move it to an empty area of the screen, such as above the hotbar or in a corner, using the config's position controls.
Does the armor hud work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, because it is a client-side mod it works on any server without needing to be installed server-side. Other players will not see your HUD, and the server does not need the mod.
Can I use this mod with other hud mods like journeymap or a minimap?
Yes, it is designed to coexist with other HUD mods, though you may need to reposition it to avoid overlap. If two elements fight for the same spot, move one in its own config.
Does the armor hud hurt my fps or performance?
No, it is a lightweight client-side display that only reads your equipped armor and renders a small overlay. It has negligible impact on frame rate compared to world-rendering mods.
Why does the armor hud show nothing when I have no armor equipped?
The HUD only displays slots for armor you are actually wearing, so an empty armor set means nothing is drawn. Equip any piece and it will appear.
Can I change what the armor hud looks like, like icons or bars?
Yes, the config typically offers display style options such as icons, bars, or numeric durability. Pick the style you prefer in the mod's settings and it updates live.
