Better CPS Counter
by notnawfas
Better CPS Counter shows the current clicks per second on screen, and a player can place several customizable counters on the HUD at once.
What it does
Players who track clicks for PvP practice, bridging or interface work can display a live CPS value. The counter is built around a Display Format text field, where placeholders pull specific click inputs into the readout. Both mouse and keyboard input can be tracked, including the standard F13–F25 keys and SHIFT combined with the F1–F12 row.
Each HUD element can be dragged to any spot on the screen. Fonts, colors, formats, layouts and positions are all adjustable, and built-in presets give a quick starting point. Settings change in-game, and a toggle in the configuration menu disables the mod without a restart.
The mod is Fabric-only and runs on the client alone, so servers need nothing installed. It has no required dependencies, and Mod Menu is optional. Files cover 1.21.1, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 0.0.1.9 for 1.21.1 as the latest build. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
