hud designer
by 16zk
HUD Designer lets players move, resize and restyle the vanilla HUD elements and inventory screens through a visual editor, without editing resource packs.
What it does
A visual HUD editor opens from the main menu or in game. Players drag vanilla HUD elements into new positions, resize them with on-screen handles, lock them against accidental movement and hide or reset any single component. Edits can be previewed live as they are made.
The inventory and other GUI screens can be scaled between 50% and 500%, including 125%, 150%, 200% and 300%, which suits high-resolution monitors and custom setups. Five interface themes are available: Vanilla, Dark, Light, Transparent, High Contrast and Minimal. Settings and layouts are stored locally on the player's machine.
HUD Designer is a Fabric mod for client-side use only, so servers do not need it and players join without installing anything. It works in singleplayer and multiplayer. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source. Files are published for Fabric across five release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.2.
