Always Show Debug Info
Always Show Debug Info lets players see the F3 debug screen even when the server has disabled it with the reducedDebugInfo gamerule.
What it does
Normally a server can set reducedDebugInfo to hide coordinates, light level and other F3 details. This Fabric mod overrides that setting on the client, so the debug text stays visible whatever the server says. It is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it and the server runs without it. Builds cover 1.18 and 1.18.1, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only.
Key features
Visible coordinates
Coordinates and light level remain on the F3 screen even when the server has hidden them.
Server setting ignored
The mod disregards the reducedDebugInfo gamerule on the client, so the server's choice does not apply.
Simple Mixin example
The source is small enough to serve as a beginner reference for writing a simple Mixin.

What the author says
Simple mod that allows you to view the F3 info disabled by the reducedDebugInfo gamerule (coords, light level, etc.) despite what the server says. Should also hopefully serve as a good beginner example of how to make a simple mixin! (because that's all the mod has..)
