ActionHUD
by kiyaaa4444
Players pick one of four on-screen layouts by hand in ActionHUD, a Fabric mod that runs only on the client and reshapes the HUD for a single part of play at a time.
What it does
Instead of showing the same information all the time, ActionHUD offers dedicated modes for mining, exploring, combat and construction, and the HUD changes to match what the player is doing. A visible side selector shows the active mode at a glance, and a dedicated selector screen allows switching in game. Each mode has its own accent color, so it can be recognized quickly.
Each layout surfaces the details that matter for its activity. The mining view reports the Y level for cave navigation, while the held tool's durability is shown in the other modes. Status text is written as readable alerts rather than raw technical clutter. An optional Mod Menu integration exposes layout and visibility settings.
The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric for 26.1.2 only. Only the client needs it; a server can run without it. It is released under the Apache License 2.0, and it is not open source. The latest Fabric file is 1.2.5, published on 2026-05-22 after a first release on 2026-05-21. The author notes that the code was written with implementation help from OpenAI Codex.
Key features
Four manual HUD modes
Mining, exploring, combat and construction each switch in with a single action and bring their own layout.
Dedicated selector screen
A separate selector screen lets the player change mode in game without relying on the side selector alone.
Held tool information
The active tool's durability is displayed while the player works, so wear can be tracked without opening the inventory.
Y level readout
The mining mode shows the current Y level, which helps with planning cave routes and digging depth.
