CustomHUD
by SolidFire58
CustomHUD lets players place custom text overlays and screens on the HUD, typed with commands for role-play dialogue or other messages.
What it does
Players create a text overlay or a dedicated screen that shows whatever message they type, and the text can be set in several colors. Commands add messages on demand, which suits role-play dialogue, scene notes and in-world announcements on a server.
The mod was first built as an add-on for the CustomNPCs mod, and its author notes it works well for adventure, role-playing and survival games. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.16.5. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is not open source; All rights reserved applies to it.
