Compact F3 Plus

by nikenmar

Compact F3 Plus swaps the vanilla F3 debug screen for a small, minimal HUD overlay that displays performance and position readings.

What it does

When F3 is pressed, the compact HUD appears in place of the vanilla debug view; the original F3 screen is still reachable through F8, which can be reassigned in Controls. Its settings are reachable from the mod list in Mod Menu.

The overlay lists the current 1% low frame rate, with indicator colors that shift once values cross configured thresholds, and also shows memory consumption, a lag gauge, a stutter counter for locating dropped frames, server tick rate, GPU and CPU load, and XYZ position. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 21 release versions, 1.7.10 – 26.3. It runs on the client alone, so servers need nothing installed.

Key features

  1. Replaces the F3 screen

    Pressing F3 shows a clean, readable overlay in place of the vanilla debug screen.

  2. Frame rate and stutter data

    Shows the average 1% low frame rate with threshold-based color indicators, plus a stutter rate monitor for finding frame drops.

  3. Individually toggled elements

    RAM use, lag, server TPS, GPU and CPU use and XYZ coordinates can each be switched on or off.

  4. Adjustable placement

    The overlay is anchored to any screen corner, with X and Y offsets set by the player.

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Which loaders does Compact F3 Plus support?

Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The latest Forge file targets 1.21.1, and the latest Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt files target 26.3.
