CC: HUD Glasses
by semakol
With CC: HUD Glasses, a ComputerCraft computer can project text and graphics over a player's view, using the same monitor API a program already uses.
What it does
The mod adds HUD glasses, a worn item that a player equips in the helmet slot or in a Curios slot. A computer writes to a HUD modem placed next to it, and the modem sends that output to the glasses. Each set of glasses is bound to one modem by right-clicking the modem while holding the glasses, and the binding is stored in the glasses themselves. Several glasses can be bound to the same modem, so they all show the same screen.
Programs drive the display through a peripheral of type hud glasses that exposes write, blit, clear, scroll, setCursorPos, setBackgroundColour with 0 for a transparent background, and setSize for runtime resolution. The text uses a pixel-perfect version of the ComputerCraft font. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Settings live in hudglassescc-common.toml on the server, applied live, and in hudglassescc-client.toml per player. CC: HUD Glasses works with the Monitor-compatible API.
The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only. Its latest file is 0.1.4-beta, published on 2026-09-01 on the beta channel. Both the server and every player need it, since the modem and the glasses must both be present.
Key features
Worn HUD glasses
Glasses fill the helmet slot or a Curios slot and show a computer's output over the player's view.
HUD modem binding
A modem is bound to glasses by right-click, and several glasses can share one modem so everyone sees the same screen.
Monitor-style API
The hud glasses peripheral offers write, blit, clear, scroll and cursor calls that match existing monitor programs.
Transparent background
Setting the background colour to 0 leaves the world visible behind the text and graphics.
Runtime resolution
setSize changes the display dimensions from Lua, and the defaults are set in the config files.

What the author says
Wear a ComputerCraft monitor on your face. A pair of glasses and a special modem let any computer draw a heads-up display straight onto a player's screen, using the same monitor/term API you already know. If you've ever written a monitor program, you already know this peripheral.
