What it does

BoxHud is a client-side mod that replaces or extends the default interface with customizable widgets. Each widget can be moved, scaled, recolored, given an outline or background, aligned, and enabled or disabled with a click. The hotbar, the status bars and other default HUD elements can each be switched off on their own, which lets players lay out the screen around the BoxHud widgets. Widgets can be previewed live while they are configured, and changes do not require editing config files.

BoxHud includes its own coordinates widget that shows the X, Y and Z position. Users who already run Coordinates Display can drop that mod's folder and BoxHud takes over its widget automatically, since both mods use Boxlib and work together. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, requires Fabric API on Fabric, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. The code is open source, and the source and issue tracker are public. Builds cover 1.20.5 – 26.1.2, with files for 17 release versions, the newest being 10.0.0 for 26.1.1.

Key features

  1. Draggable widget placement

    Widgets are repositioned by dragging them, or by double clicking to open a positioning screen.

  2. Widget styling

    Scale, color, outline, background and alignment can be adjusted separately for each widget.

  3. Crosshair styles

    Ten crosshair styles are available, each with full color control.

  4. Dynamic crosshair mode

    The crosshair changes color to show whether an entity is in range, a critical hit is ready, or a block is within interaction range.

Questions

Does BoxHud need Fabric API?

Fabric API is required when BoxHud runs on Fabric. Forge, NeoForge and Quilt builds do not list it as a dependency.

Does BoxHud have to be installed on the server?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

Can BoxHud replace Coordinates Display?

Yes. BoxHud includes a coordinates widget, and an existing Coordinates Display folder can be dropped into the mods folder so BoxHud handles the rest.
