ExpeditionCraft
ExpeditionCraft is a Fabric client mod that shows a minimalist HUD with key details about the player's surroundings and replaces the default F2 screenshot key with its own capture logic.
What it does
The HUD displays important information about the current surroundings in a compact layout, and it can be toggled off at any time with a default key. Because the overlay is drawn by the client, it changes nothing on the server side and a server does not need the mod to run it.
Pressing the default key takes screenshots through custom logic that replaces the F2 function Minecraft uses by default. The mod is built on client tick events, and the author describes the HUD and screenshot handling as the core of the experience. ExpeditionCraft targets 1.21.4 only, with the v0.1 build from 2026-03-24 as its only published Fabric file. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Surroundings HUD
A minimalist overlay shows key information about the area around the player while exploring.
Toggle with a default key
The HUD can be switched off and on with a default key, so it stays out of the way when needed.
Custom screenshot key
The default key replaces the F2 screenshot function, with screenshot logic written to allow finer control.
Client tick events
Display updates run on client tick events, keeping the overlay in step with the game each frame.
