Action-HUD

Tracked actions appear as animated progress bars with a short label and the matching vanilla item icon, such as a bow while drawing or a pickaxe while mining. The panel grows or shrinks with its content and fades in and out with proper easing curves. Bars turn blue while progressing, flash green on success and red when interrupted, which makes it clear whether a shield was disabled or a fish bite landed.

The mod watches 17 activities and groups them into a handful of categories. Its HUD scale, position, opacity, animation speed and progress bar thickness can be changed in an in-game settings screen, which can be opened from a key binding that is unbound by default. Action-HUD is open source under the MIT License and is built on Fabric. It needs no mixins, and according to the author it works alongside Sodium, Lithium and Iris.

Files are published for Fabric only, across game versions 1.21 – 26.3 with four release versions in total, and snapshot builds are published as well. Action-HUD works on either side, and neither needs it, so a server can run without it and players who join without it are not affected. The latest Fabric file is 1.3.4 for 26.3, published on 2026-10-14 on the beta channel.
