FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21 – 1.21.1

What it does

Players who want more information on screen during play can use the HUD elements this mod provides. Keystrokes show which movement and action keys are held, the FPS counter reports the frame rate, and a Reach display shows how far the crosshair target is. A Combo HUD tracks hit streaks in combat, and potion effects are listed with their remaining time.

Because it only draws overlays, the mod is useful in single-player worlds and on multiplayer servers alike, since no server-side part is needed. Only the client runs it. Files are published for Fabric alone, covering 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the current release is 1.0 for 1.21.1, dated 2026-02-06. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, so the code is not available for redistribution or modification.

Key features

  1. Keystroke overlay

    Shows the movement and action keys currently pressed, so the input is visible on screen during fights and builds.

  2. FPS counter

    Displays the current frame rate as a small number that stays out of the way of the main game view.

  3. Reach display

    Shows the distance to the block or entity under the crosshair, which helps when judging attack range.

  4. Combo and potion panels

    A combo counter tracks hit streaks, and active potion effects appear with the time left on each.
