Clean HUD
by Codx
Clean HUD hides the vanilla interface elements that are not needed during play, while Info HUD lines stay on screen where the player places them.
What it does
Clean HUD fades out the vanilla HUD and keeps only the elements a player actually reads. Health, hunger, armour, air, experience, the hotbar, the boss bar and the crosshair dissolve smoothly when nothing is happening, then return the moment something changes. Mount health, the held item and status effects follow the same rule. Each element can be set to fade or stay put, and fading can be switched on or off for the whole HUD. Where it makes sense, the fade can also run to full transparency rather than a plain on and off state.
Every supported HUD element has its own settings, changed from inside the game, so the player decides what stays and what dissolves. The Info HUD is an optional set of text lines, each individually toggleable, that do not fade. It uses one global text size setting shared by all its items, with several sizes available. Clean HUD depends on CodxLib, which must be installed alongside it on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
Clean HUD is client-side only, so servers run without it and players alone install it. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license and is not open source. Files cover 22 release versions, and each build targets exactly one Minecraft version and one loader. Some combinations do not exist, for example NeoForge does not go back to 1.20.1.

How it compares
HUD Manager is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21 – 26.3, while Clean HUD is not open source and targets Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Advanced HUD is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, is Fabric and Quilt for 1.20 – 1.21.5, and does not cover Forge. Turtle Client is all rights reserved and Fabric-only, so it is a different kind of client package rather than a HUD-only mod.
