Entity Tracker Hud
by ElmerLion
Entity Tracker Hud shows a compact in-game list of loaded entities near the player, with icons and live counts for each type.
What it does
Players who want to see nearby mobs, animals and other living creatures at a glance can use this client-side HUD. It lists the entities currently loaded around the player, with an icon and a live count for each type, and the list can be customized to show only the entity types a player chooses. Mobs and animals are the only entries shown out of the box; decorative, miscellaneous, vehicle, projectile and other non-living types remain concealed until a player switches them on.
Visibility is set per entity type, and a searchable settings screen helps find a type quickly. A toggle switches the HUD on and off. Optional Mod Menu integration opens the settings from the mod list. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source, and it is published for Fabric only, across four game versions: 1.21.11 and 26.1.2 – 26.3, with 1.0.2+26.3 for 26.3 as the latest file.
Key features

A compact list shows each loaded entity type near the player, with an icon and the number of that type present.
Per-entity visibility
Each entity type can be shown or hidden individually, so the list stays readable in busy areas.

Use cases
Finding mobs in a busy area
A player exploring a cave or a farm can see which hostile or passive mobs are nearby and how many, without scanning the screen.
Keeping the list short
Hiding decorative and non-living types keeps the HUD limited to the creatures a player is tracking.
