Ars NumericHUD
by WFPhantom
Ars NumericHUD is a client-side addon for Ars Nouveau that replaces mana bars with exact numbers and adds tooltips and glyphs.
What it does
Ars Nouveau shows mana as a bar, which makes it hard to read exact amounts. This NeoForge addon draws the current and maximum mana as numbers on the HUD, so a caster can see how much a spell will cost before casting it. Tooltips and glyphs add the same numeric detail to the items and spells that use mana.
Only the client needs the addon, so players install it and servers do not have to. It requires Ars Nouveau, which must be installed alongside it, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. The source code and issue tracker are public. Files are published for NeoForge on 1.21.1, with 1.0.2 as the latest file, dated 2025-11-07.
Credit in the author text goes to Moonwolf for the original Ars EnderStorage concept, to Sarenor and Alexth99 for the Ars Instrumentum updates they maintain, and to Bailey, who develops Ars Nouveau itself.
