Helpful Huds shows a set of optional heads-up display elements in the corner of the screen, including a cardinal direction indicator, hotbar coordinates and Bedrock-style stats.

What it does

Each element can be switched on or off on its own, so a player sees only the displays they want. The set includes a cardinal direction indicator, a hotbar coordinate readout and a stats panel that follows the Bedrock Edition style, with coordinates, days played, the in-game time and a day counter. The author describes the list of toggles as limited for now, and more displays are planned for later releases.

The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric and runs on the client alone, so a server does not need to install it and players on any server may use it freely. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.4 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the files for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4 are published under the MIT License as open source, with a public source code repository and issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Cardinal direction indicator

    A compass-style readout shows the direction the player is facing, placed on the screen where it stays visible while moving.

  2. Hotbar coordinate display

    The current position is shown above the hotbar, so coordinates are always in view without opening a menu.

  3. Bedrock-style stats panel

    A panel modeled on Bedrock Edition lists coordinates, days played, the in-game time and the day count.

  4. Individually toggled elements

    Each display can be turned on or off separately, so the HUD can be trimmed to the information a player needs.
