HolyHUD
by NaroFaith
HolyHUD shows a rotating Bible verse on the screen while the game is running, as a quiet reminder of God's Word during play.
What it does
The HUD cycles through a set of 25 hand-picked Bible verses. Each verse is displayed for two minutes, then replaced by the next one, so the text appears without any action from the player. When a verse is due to change, the current text fades out smoothly, leaving a white line of text in the bottom left of the screen.
Only the player's own client needs the mod, because it changes nothing on a server. Fabric API is required, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source. Its builds cover game versions 1.20 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file, first published on 2026-04-20.
The configuration is lightweight and needs little setup. Players who want the verses in a different order, or a different display time, can adjust the settings the mod provides.
Key features
Rotating verse display
A Bible verse appears on the HUD and changes automatically every two minutes during play.
Twenty-five selected verses
The rotation draws from a fixed list of 25 verses chosen by the author, including John 3:16.
Smooth fade transition
Each verse fades out in white before the next one appears, so the change is not abrupt.
Simple configuration
A small set of options covers the display behavior, and no extra setup is required to start using the HUD.

Use cases
Quiet reminder during play
A player who wants a short scripture on screen while building or exploring can keep the HUD running in the background.
Who it’s for: Players who want a short Bible verse on screen during single-player or multiplayer sessions. Servers need nothing, since only the client runs the HUD.
How it compares
Smooth Screen is a client-side Fabric mod, released with all rights reserved, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.5, so it does not cover the same versions as HolyHUD. ShardHud is also a client-side Fabric mod under the MIT License, but its files cover 1.21.11 – 26.2 and it is not open source. BibleBot is a Fabric mod for 26.1.2 released under the MIT License and open source, and it is for the server side rather than the client.
