HerobrineHUD
by RCUTANF
HerobrineHUD is a Fabric utility for esports broadcasters, with a team-based HUD, spectator camera switching and operator hotkeys.
What it does
The mod is an observer broadcasting system built for live Minecraft esports and tournament streams. It shows team groupings, player health status and equipment potion effects in layouts arranged by team, and vanilla team groupings sync automatically to the broadcaster's HUD panel. A toggle hides the whole HUD with one key, and an H key opens a list of individual elements such as armor slots and potion effects so they can be shown or removed.
The server and the broadcaster's client both need the mod, so team information shows in real time on the stream. Other players may keep a client without it. Installation needs no configuration, and the mod is designed for tournaments as well as casual multiplayer minigames. The mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files target game versions 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, with v0.1.2-mc26.1.x as the latest build for 26.1.2.
Key features
Team-based player cards
Player cards are grouped by team and placed on the left and right sides of the screen, showing live health.
Broadcaster hotkeys
Numpad keys 1 to 9 and 0 jump the camera to the player in the matching slot, and the camera lock keeps the point of view steady.
HUD management screen
A K key opens a settings screen where the operator chooses which interface elements remain on screen.
Web-style UI framework
The AUI framework lets the interface use web technology, and the mod provides a theme framework with theme manager support.

How it compares
Status Potion Hud is client-side only, works on Fabric for 1.21.4 and is not open source. Status Effect HUD is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11. Spectator Quick Switch is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and available for Fabric and Forge across 1.18.2 – 1.20.4, so it covers older versions than HerobrineHUD.
