Better Item Overlay

Better Item Overlay

Better Item Overlay adds small, configurable overlays to your item slots, in the hotbar and in every inventory.

Features

• Durability number - the exact durability left on tools, weapons and armor, coloured like the durability bar or in a colour of your choice
• Arrow counter - how much ammo your bow or crossbow has left, with ∞ for Infinity
• Enchantment icons - pick an icon for each enchantment (e.g. a diamond for Fortune, glass for Silk Touch) and see an item's enchantments without opening its tooltip
• Potion effect icons - the effects of potions, tipped arrows and suspicious stews
• Waxed icon - tells waxed copper blocks apart from unwaxed ones
• Sulfur cube buckets - shows which block a bucketed sulfur cube has absorbed (26.2+)

Customizable

• Show each overlay always, never, or only while holding a key, separately for the hotbar and inventories
• Choose the position and size of every overlay, or use one general size for all of them
• Single, stacked or side-by-side layout when an item has several icons
• Live previews in the config screen, so you see every change right away

Compatibility

• Minecraft 1.19 - 26.3
• Fabric, Forge and NeoForge
• Requires ShwgConfig
• Client-side only – works on any server

This mod displays the durability that is left of items on the items itself. By using this mod you'll always know when your tool is about to break.

A nice little feature is also the functionality of displaying your current arrow amount on the bow and crossbow item.

Follow options are customizable:

• to always enable the durability bar (so it shows when the item is completely undamaged)
• Show the durability number when the item is not damaged like (disabled means it mimics the vanilla damaged bar)
• Completely disable the damage bar
• Completely disable the damage number
• Color the damage number depending on the damage on the item
• Enable or disable the arrow counter
• Resize the text a bit
