Elixr HUD

by Elixr

Elixr HUD replaces the vanilla heads-up display with a cinematic overlay for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge, using bars, a vertical hotbar and a clock.

What it does

Elixr HUD reworks the in-game interface around fewer, cleaner elements. Health and hunger are drawn as smooth-filling gradient bars in the top-left corner instead of the classic hearts and drumsticks, and the hotbar is moved to a vertical panel on the right edge of the screen. Removing the cluttered vanilla icons leaves the center of the screen clear for viewing the world.

The HUD also reacts to the player's condition. Once health falls under a quarter, a pulsing dark vignette creeps in from the screen edges, and below half hunger the picture desaturates a little. An audible stomach growl grows more frequent as the player nears starvation. The client-only mod is published for Forge and covers 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.1 as the latest file from 2026-04-26. It is not open source, and all rights are reserved by its author, Elixr.

Key features

  1. Gradient status bars

    Health and hunger appear as minimalist bars with a smooth gradient fill, placed top-left in place of the vanilla icons.

  2. Vertical hotbar

    Item slots sit in a sleek panel on the right side, and the selection indicator uses a spring-damping animation for a fluid, bouncy scroll.

  3. Low health vignette

    Below 25 percent health the screen edges darken with a pulsing effect meant to suggest the character struggling to stay conscious.

  4. Hunger and stomach sounds

    Hunger below 50 percent desaturates the view, and a stomach growl plays more often as starvation approaches.

  5. 24-hour world clock

    A minimalist time indicator in the bottom-left corner follows the day and night cycle, with subtle sun and moon icons.
