Better Mount HUD

by Lortseam

Better Mount HUD changes what the HUD shows while a player rides a horse, donkey or other mount.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.17 – 26.3

What it does

Two HUD elements change while riding. The food bar and the health of the mount are displayed together, so a player can read both at a glance. The experience bar is swapped for the jump bar only while the mount is actually being jumped, and returns to normal afterwards.

Only the player's game needs this client-side mod, so it is not installed on servers. Fabric is the only loader it is published for, across 31 release versions covering 1.17 – 26.3. Open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Food and mount health together

    The player's food and the health of the mount are shown at the same time while riding.

  2. Jump bar on jumps

    The experience bar is replaced by the jump bar only during an actual jump.

  3. Client-side install

    Only the player's game needs the mod, so server owners do not have to add anything.
