HudEnhancer
by sailex
With HudEnhancer, players choose which on-screen elements appear in the HUD and how each one is styled.
What it does
HudEnhancer is a Fabric mod that lets a player arrange the HUD by moving and customizing its elements. Coordinates, biome, direction and other readouts can be placed where the player prefers, and each element can be changed without editing game files. Fabric API is required, so it must be installed alongside HudEnhancer.
Text color, text shadow and background can be set for individual elements, so readouts stay legible over different terrain and scenes. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Only the client needs it, so players can join multiplayer servers without installing anything extra.
Files are published for Fabric on 1.20.4, 1.20.6 and 1.21, with 2.1.2 for 1.21 as the latest file, released on 2024-08-28 on the beta channel. The mod was first published on 2024-07-20 by sailex and sits in the Optimization category with Utility as a secondary category. The catalog lists 955 Optimization mods with Fabric files for 1.21, so HudEnhancer is one of many options in that group.
Key features
Movable HUD elements

Per-element text color
The color of each HUD element's text can be adjusted independently of the others.
