HUD Lib
by wooferz
HUD Lib is a Fabric library for the HUD elements other mods draw on screen, letting each one be moved, anchored and configured in one editor.
What it does
Other mods use HUD Lib to register their own HUD elements, which then gain repositioning, anchoring and configuration without extra code. Three catalog mods already depend on it, including Armor HUD, Status Effect HUD and Generic HUD. Drawing a element takes a DrawContext call at an X and Y coordinate, while the library handles where the screen is rendered.
Pressing RIGHT SHIFT, or a rebound key, opens the editor, where elements can be dragged, pinned to a screen corner so they keep their place when the window resizes, or disabled. A settings screen, built with YetAnotherConfigLib, lets players configure each element and reset positions. Holding CTRL stops snapping, and the settings button can be hidden. The mod is client-side only and needs no server install. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker public. Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required, and the Generic HUD options come from the Generic HUD mod.
Key features
Element registration API
Other mods register their own HUD elements, which the library then positions and displays on screen.
Editor with snapping
The editor moves elements, snaps them to a grid and stays hidden until opened, while CTRL disables snapping.
Screen corner anchoring
Elements can be anchored to a corner, such as the top right, so they keep their place as the screen size changes.
Configuration screen
A settings screen built with YetAnotherConfigLib lets players disable elements or reset their positions.
