Custom GUI PLUS
by rapik
Custom GUI PLUS puts a modular on-screen HUD on top of the game, showing armor, coordinates, FPS, keystrokes, sprint status, a crosshair, a compass and the in-game time.
What it does
Each display is a separate module that can be switched on or off on its own, so a player keeps only the readouts they want. The modules cover armor durability as a minimal preview, an FPS counter with real-time performance tracking, a coordinates readout that gives the exact position, and a keystrokes overlay that shows movement keys including WASD, LMB and RMB. Sprint status, a compass that shows direction, and a time display that previews the in-game clock complete the set.
The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.21.4 only, released under All rights reserved and not open source, with source code published for reading. It runs on the client alone, so only players install it and servers do not. The author notes that it is meant to work alongside mods such as Apple Skin, Shulker Box Tooltip and Better F3, and the modules can be configured to suit a player's setup.
Key features
Modular HUD system
Every element is a module that can be enabled or disabled independently, so the overlay stays as small as the player wants.
Armor status display
A clean, minimal preview shows armor durability without the full vanilla inventory display.
FPS counter and coordinates
The FPS counter tracks performance in real time, and the coordinates display shows the exact position at all times.
Keystrokes and crosshair
The keystrokes module shows WASD, LMB and RMB input, and a minimal custom crosshair overlay replaces the default one.

Use cases
Building and navigation
Coordinates and the compass help a player keep track of position and direction while building or exploring large areas.
Recording and streaming
Keystrokes and the FPS counter give viewers a view of the player's input and performance.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.21.4 who want a configurable set of HUD readouts on their own client. Only the client needs the mod, so it suits single-player and multiplayer play alike.
How it compares
Simple Keystrokes is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved and not open source, covering keystrokes only. Custom Crosshair X is client-side only for 1.21 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved and not open source, covering the crosshair only. Custom GUI PLUS bundles several of these displays into one module set, but targets 1.21.4 alone.
