Exile Overlay
by user1654
Exile Overlay replaces the default Minecraft HUD with an ARPG-style interface for the Mine and Slash mod, showing orbs, skills and combat information on screen.
What it does
The overlay is built as an add-on for Mine and Slash, which is required, and it swaps the default heads-up display for a set of panels that track health, mana and stamina as orb gauges. Players can also see a customizable hotbar for Mine and Slash skills, floating damage numbers colored by element, a list of active buffs and debuffs with icons, and the level of the entity they are looking at.
Additional readouts cover the number of days elapsed in the world and the durability of equipped armor. Pressing O opens the HUD configuration screen, where players arrange these elements. The overlay runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it, and the source code is published under the MIT License, making the project open source. Files are published for Forge, with 1.10.0 as the latest build for 1.20.1.
