hud mover
by qaut
A player who wants a different layout for the health bar, hotbar or chat can reposition those vanilla elements with HUD Mover, a Fabric client mod.
What it does
HUD Mover lets players move and customize vanilla HUD elements inside the game, without resource packs or external tools. Elements are dragged in real time, and each change is shown on screen immediately. Changes are applied with a Save, Cancel or Reset workflow, so an edit can be dropped before it is kept.
The editor includes a snap grid with an adjustable grid size, alignment guides for lining elements up, and safe bounds that keep an element from being placed fully off-screen. Elements can be grouped, moved together, locked in place and fine-tuned for a particular gameplay setup. The mod is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it, and it is published for Fabric and no other loader.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for Minecraft 1.21.11 only, with the latest build 26.2.24 for 1.21.11, dated 2026-02-24. The same date marks the first release and the last update.
Key features
Live element dragging
HUD elements are picked up and moved on screen, and the position updates as the drag happens.
Snap grid and alignment
A grid with adjustable size and guide lines helps line up elements with each other and with the screen edges.
Save, cancel and reset
Edits can be saved, discarded or reset to defaults, so layouts can be tried without committing them.
Safe bounds
Elements stop at the edges of the screen, which prevents accidental placement off-screen.
