DuelHUD
by Saadi_XD
DuelHUD puts combat readouts on the screen during fights, covering keystrokes, click speed, ping, cooldowns, armor durability and potion effects.
What it does
DuelHUD is a lightweight client-side HUD for PvP duels. It shows WASD and mouse button presses live, a CPS counter that tracks click speed in real time, a ping readout, cooldowns for items and abilities, armor durability so cracked pieces can be replaced before they break, and a panel of active potion effects with the time each one has left. Each panel can be dragged to any spot through the in-game HUD editor, opened with a rebindable control, and scaled or detailed through the Mod Menu config screen, where Cloth Config is supported. The generated config file can also be edited directly.
The mod only reads client-side information that is already available, such as which keys are pressed and the connection ping. It does not modify gameplay, does not send or receive anything from the server, and gives no advantage beyond seeing a player's own state. It is published for Fabric only, requires Fabric API, and is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.
Key features
Keystroke display
WASD and mouse buttons appear as they are pressed, so a player can watch their own inputs during a fight.
Live CPS counter
Click speed is tracked in real time and shown as a running count of clicks per second.
Cooldown tracker
Item and ability cooldowns appear in one panel, so they can be checked at a glance during a duel.
Armor durability and effects
Armor durability and active potion effects with remaining duration each have their own panel that can be repositioned.

How it compares
Advanced Keystrokes is client-side only, not open source, and published under All rights reserved for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11. Keystrokes+ is licensed under the MIT License, is not open source, and is built for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11; it works on the client alone, and the server can add it for extra features. DuelHUD adds CPS, ping, cooldowns and armor readouts beyond keystrokes.
