Boat HUD (from F1 2023)
by jewtvet
Boat HUD puts a heads-up display on the boat in the Minecraft Java Edition minigame F1 2023, showing speed, lap data and a track map while a player races.
What it does
Boat HUD adds on-screen panels that follow a boat race in F1 2023. A speedometer reports speed in km/h and tracks the surface under the boat, including ice types, drift angle and position relative to the pits. Keystroke display shows which WASD inputs are held, which helps when judging throttle and steering.
A leaderboard lists the race order, lap count, team colour, player name, interval to the car ahead and pit stops, with a separate view for previous laps. A race status panel shows the current lap and its time, and a track map draws the course in 3D with the position of every player and boat. The leaderboard can also show the leader's time and each player's fastest lap.
Boat HUD requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu, so all three must be installed alongside it. The mod is Client-side only, so players install it and servers need nothing. Files are published for Fabric for 1.20 – 1.21, and the latest file is 1.1.1 for 1.21, dated 2024-07-14. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
