Boat HUD (Extended)
by jewtvet
Boat HUD (Extended) puts a heads-up display on screen while a player rides a boat, showing speed, heading and motion data drawn from the boat itself.
What it does
Players who ride boats in vanilla Minecraft get no readout of how the boat is moving. This Fabric mod draws a HUD for boats, with drift angle and G forces shown alongside the usual flight data, so a rider can follow turns and sudden changes as they happen.
The mod needs Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu supply the settings screen, and Fabric API provides the hooks the display uses. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players can join without installing it. Its files cover 1.20.1 – 1.21 across six builds, and the code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain and makes it open source. Source code and an issue tracker are public.
Key features
Boat HUD display
A heads-up display drawn on screen while the player sits in a boat, with the boat's own motion data in one place.
Drift angle
The display shows the angle between where the boat points and where it travels, so drifting through a turn can be read directly.
G forces
Acceleration pressure from turns and speed changes is reported as G forces on the readout.
Settings screen
The readout's options are reachable through Mod Menu, with Cloth Config API providing the configuration screen.
