What it does

The island-style element sits at the top of the screen and reacts to what is happening in the game, showing short notices and small updates without covering the whole HUD. The look and behavior of the element can be adjusted, its position moved, and the choice of displayed details made per player. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 26.1 – 26.3, and the mod is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Compact status bar

    Notifications and status changes appear in a small top-of-screen element instead of filling the interface.

  2. Smooth fading

    The element fades out smoothly when idle, so it stays unobtrusive during play.

  3. Adjustable layout

    Players can move the element, change its appearance and behavior, and pick which information it shows.
