FPS hud
by Flavio6561
FPS hud shows the current, average, maximum and minimum frame rate on screen, with each value refreshed at its own update interval.
What it does
FPS hud is a client-side display for Fabric and Quilt. Frame rate is measured from the time elapsed between frames, and four readouts can be shown at once: the main FPS value, the average, the maximum and the minimum. Each readout is refreshed on its own interval, set in the General Settings, so the figures stay steady instead of jumping with every frame. Fabric API is required, and Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional.
Samples are taken at millisecond precision and then smoothed before display, so the readouts match the chosen polling rate. Lower update interval values give quicker changes, but the results can look fluctuating. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files are published for 1.21 – 26.2, and the latest build for both loaders is 1.1.3+26.2 for 26.2, released 2026-06-21.
