Tango's Dynamic Hud Lib
by Pankraz01
Tango's Dynamic Hud Lib is a small client-side Fabric library that lets other mods place movable widgets on the screen.
What it does
The library provides an API that other mods call to register HUD elements. Once a mod registers a widget through Tango's HudLib, the library draws it on screen, and players can move it into position. Each widget needs at least one non-blank line of content, and the library works on its own, without the mod that registers the widget adding gameplay of its own.
Players reach the editor from the Minecraft controls menu, where a key can be assigned under the library's category. Pressing that key in-game opens the HUD editor, and dragging a widget with the left mouse button moves it. The same hotkey or the Esc key closes the editor. Fabric API is required, and the library is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source.

What the author says
Tango's HudLib is a small client-side Fabric library for movable HUD widgets. The mod itself does not add major gameplay features. It provides an API that other mods can use to register HUD elements. For players, that means TangosHudLib renders and stores the widgets that another mod registers through this library.
