ArmorHUD

ArmorHUD is a convenient addon for Minecraft versions 1.8.9 and 1.12.2, running on the Forge platform. It adds an informative panel above the standard hotbar that displays the character's current equipment and the item in hand.

This simple but useful tool allows you to always see the status of your armor and equipment without distracting from the gameplay. You no longer need to open the inventory to check what armor is equipped or what is in your hand - all the necessary information is always in front of your eyes.
