ElytraHUD
by Nikrecs
ElytraHUD puts a compact status row on screen while a player glides, showing elytra durability, firework rockets and flight speed.
What it does
The HUD is a single minimalist row drawn above the chat, and it stays clear of the player list, subtitles and open screens. It shows the elytra durability bar, which shifts from green through amber to red as the wings wear down, along with the remaining percentage or an exact value. A pulsing low-durability warning appears when the wings reach a configurable threshold, reminding the player to land or swap wings. Rocket count and current flight speed sit beside the bar, so the player reads the essentials at a glance.
The settings screen opens with the elytrahud command, its alias ehud, or a customizable hotkey. Each HUD element can be toggled, scaled from 50 to 200 percent and offset on a grid across six screen positions. Visibility can be set to appear constantly, only on equipped elytra or only during gliding, and the durability text can switch between percent, value or hidden. A live preview shows changes as they are made. The mod works in singleplayer and multiplayer, and it needs Architectury API on every loader, with Fabric also requiring Fabric API.
