CritterUniqueHUD
by elenrix
CritterUniqueHUD puts a tracker for captured Critters on screen during play, showing progress through the Critter Dex and the current Safari.
What it does
The HUD counts captured Critters and marks which ones are still missing, so a player can see remaining progress without opening a separate screen. Entries can be sorted into the Safari areas they belong to. When a new Safari starts, the counts reset, and the HUD turns on when a player enters a Safari and turns off when it ends.
Loot Share captures are included in the totals. Players who want a fixed layout can change the HUD size and position, or use manual commands to reset it. The mod is a Fabric client mod released under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Files target 26.1.2 – 26.2, and the 1.0.0 build for 26.2 is the latest one, released 2026-08-22. Only the client needs it, and a server installation is required for the Safari features to work with it.
Key features
Automatic capture tracking
Captured Critters are recorded without manual input, and the HUD updates its progress as each one is caught.
Safari area grouping
Critters are organized by Safari area, so the display lists the ones left in the current zone.
Captured and uncaptured view
The HUD shows both caught and missing Critters, giving a running count against the full list.
Adjustable HUD
The size and position of the display can be changed, and commands reset it to its default state.

Use cases
Completing a Safari
A player working through a Safari area keeps the list of missing Critters visible while moving around the zone.
Running a server Safari
Server owners who host Safari events can rely on the HUD switching on and off automatically at the start and end of each run.
Who it’s for: Players who collect Critters in Safari areas and want their progress visible during play, including players who use Loot Share.
How it compares
Critter Mod is also a Fabric client mod for 26.1.2 – 26.2 and is open source under the MIT License, but it covers the Critters themselves rather than a progress display. Modern Armor Bar is a client-side Fabric mod for 26.1 – 26.3 under the MIT License that shows armor values, which is a different kind of HUD.
