[BH] Better Huds
by Amne-Dev
[BH] Better Huds, by Amne-Dev, adds a set of configurable heads-up display widgets that players arrange on screen in a drag-and-drop editor.
What it does
The mod adds new HUD widgets such as an armor display and a potion display, and the layout is edited in a drag-and-drop editor with grid snapping and resizing. Each widget has its own settings screen with a visual card grid, where it can be enabled or disabled and its colors, text visibility and scale adjusted. Layouts can be saved as profiles and moved between installations through import and export.
Other mods can register their own widgets through the mod's API, which is why the mod is categorized as a library as well as a technology mod. Fabric API is required, and the mod is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is open source. Only the client needs it, because it changes nothing on the server side. Builds cover 1.16.1 – 26.2 across 21 release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 1.4+mc1.21 for 1.21, published on 2026-08-30.
