AdvancedHUD
AdvancedHUD puts several heads-up display elements into one Fabric mod, so players can switch them on or off individually instead of installing a separate mod for each.
What it does
Many HUD mods cover one element each, and they often overlap or conflict when run together, producing unexpected behaviour. AdvancedHUD was built as a single unified HUD mod meant to replace that stack. Each element can be turned on or off individually, which removes the need for a separate mod that only displays armor.
The author aimed to keep the mod lightweight and resource efficient. It avoids third-party libraries beyond Fabric API, so little code is copied between mods and extra dependencies do not add resource usage. Fabric API is the one required dependency. The mod runs on the client alone, and the license is the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the source code is open source. The current release is 0.4.0-alpha.0+26.2-fabric for 26.2, published 2026-07-07 on the alpha channel, and files cover 26.1.2 and 26.2 on Fabric.
Key features
Unified HUD elements
Several HUD displays are handled by one mod, with a single set of options for the whole overlay.
Per-element toggles
Each element can be switched on or off on its own, so a player keeps only the displays they want.
Armor display
Armor status is one of the elements, which replaces the need for a dedicated armor HUD mod.
Minimal dependencies
Beyond Fabric API, the mod uses no third-party libraries, which keeps the code and resource use small.

How it compares
Useful Compass is a Fabric mod for 26.1.2, client-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it covers a narrower set of HUD features. Unified Legacy Settings is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.1 – 26.2, which overlaps the range AdvancedHUD targets. Just Armor Hud is client-side only and open source is not claimed, since its license is All rights reserved, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11.
