AdaptiveHUD
by Fy17
AdaptiveHUD lets players place each heads-up display element anywhere on screen by dragging it, and change padding, background colors, shadows and scale for every element.
What it does
Each element of the on-screen display is a separate variable, so its position, padding, background, shadow and scale can be set on its own. The mod can show values such as the current FPS, light level and coordinates, along with outgoing packet counts, and the user chooses which of these appear. Because the display is built from variables rather than fixed text, the set of shown information is not limited to a preset list.
AdaptiveHUD runs on the client alone, so players install it while servers need nothing. It requires Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings. Files are published for Fabric only, for the 1.20.3 – 1.21.10 range, with 1.0.2+1.21.9 for 1.21.10 as the latest file. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source; the source code and a wiki are linked from the project.
Key features
Dragged element placement
Any HUD element can be moved to a chosen spot by dragging it on screen, without editing configuration files.
Live values on screen
Current FPS, light coordinates and outgoing packet counts can be shown as elements of the display.
Per-element styling
Padding, background color, shadow and scale can each be changed for an individual element.
Variable-based text
Displayed text is driven by variables, so the content of each element can be rebuilt from the values the user picks.
