BBBoatHud
by BillBodkin
BBBoatHud is a Fabric client HUD for boats, built for ice boat racing and other boat play, with modules that show the readouts a rider needs.
What it does
The HUD can be customized in depth: a player picks and arranges modules to build a layout, and the configure screen opens with the bb boat hud command. Textures used in the HUD are borrowed from other boat HUDs with the author's permission. Modules run custom logic written in Lua, and extra modules can be added through a resource pack without changing the mod itself. Only the client needs BBBoatHud, so servers run without it. It needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional. Files are published for Fabric across 5 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is open source.

How it compares
SwitchCamBoat is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License and is not open source, so it is not a HUD replacement. Boat HUD (Extended) is a Fabric client mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is open source, but it covers an older version range than BBBoatHud.
