Compact Info
by oreon_core
Compact Info puts a minimalistic set of debug readouts into a small overlay, in the spirit of OptiFine's quick info display.
What it does
The overlay shows a compact set of game information that would otherwise sit in the F3 screen: surface Y, chunk details and horizontal and vertical position. Optional indicators can be turned on or off, so the panel stays as small as the player wants. Nether coordinate conversion is included for travelling between dimensions.
The readout can be anchored to any of six screen positions, covering the corners and the centers of the top and bottom edges. Its settings are reachable through commands, an in-game screen or Cloth Config, and Mod Menu can open that screen. Only the client needs the mod, so it works on any server without installation there.
Compact Info is published for Fabric and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the source code is public. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional dependencies, and the configuration screen needs them to appear. The latest Fabric file is 1.3.2 for 1.21.11, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.3.1 for 1.21.1.
Key features
Minimal overlay
A compact readout presents the key position and chunk information, with no extra panels taking up the screen.
Surface Y and chunk info
The overlay reports the surface height and chunk details that players usually look up in the debug screen.
Nether coordinate conversion
Coordinates are converted between the Overworld and the Nether, which helps when linking portals across dimensions.
Six screen positions
The readout can be anchored to a corner or a top or bottom center of the screen, giving six placements in all.
Configurable indicators
Optional indicators are on or off by choice, and the settings can be changed through commands, a GUI or Cloth Config.
