What it does

EffectHUD is a client-side Fabric mod that keeps a list of active potion effects on screen during play. Each entry shows the effect's icon and the time left, so a player can check how long Strength or Speed will last without opening the inventory. The list appears automatically whenever an effect is active and goes away when none remain.

The display is meant to sit quietly beside the vanilla interface and follow its look. Its effect is limited to the player's own screen, so the server does not need to run it and joining a multiplayer world requires nothing extra. Only the Fabric loader is supported, for game version 1.21.4.

The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its files are published for 1.21.4 alone, with 1.0.0 as the current Fabric build dated 2026-04-25.

Key features

  1. Persistent effect display

    Active buffs and debuffs stay listed on the HUD for as long as they last, with no key press needed to see them.

  2. Remaining time countdown

    Each effect shows a timer that counts down its remaining duration in clear numbers.

  3. Icons for quick recognition

    Each effect is paired with a high-quality icon, which helps during fast fights such as PvP.

  4. Low-impact rendering

    The overlay is drawn with minimal cost to frame rate, and its plain layout avoids crowding the screen.

Use cases

Tracking strength and speed during combat

A player in a PvP fight can see when a Strength or Speed effect is about to end without leaving the game view.

Planning potion use on long trips

Players who brew several potions can read each remaining duration and decide when to drink the next one.

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.21.4 who want potion effect timers visible at all times. Only the client needs the mod, so it suits both single-player worlds and multiplayer servers that do not run it.
