DAHUD - Hud Medieval
by Yoplay
DAHUD - Hud Medieval replaces the default Minecraft HUD on the client with a medieval RPG-style interface for Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod swaps the vanilla heads-up display for a themed layout drawn with earthy medieval tones and an elegant medieval font. Health and hunger appear as custom bars, the experience bar shows the current level, and the player name is displayed on screen. Minimal layout choices aim to keep the view free of unnecessary clutter.
Players can move the hotbar and other HUD elements with an edit mode key, and the chosen layout is saved between sessions. The hotbar uses a custom design with hover effects. Only the client needs the mod, so a server without it still accepts players who install it. It is built for Forge and works with 1.20.1 only, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

How it compares
Medieval Craft (Historical Guns) is a Forge 1.20.1 mod that runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved, so both sides need it. RPG Skills is a Fabric, Forge and Quilt mod for 1.20.1 that is server required with an optional client, under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license. DAHUD is client-side only and covers the interface alone, leaving gameplay content to these mods.
