HUDForge

by Kohanchik

HUDForge lets players build their own on-screen HUD from draggable widgets, each one filled with live game data, and it runs on the client alone.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.11

What it does

Widgets are created from text templates that include live data placeholders, so a single widget can show coordinates, the helmet icon and the item in hand together. Several lines can be combined into one multi-line widget. Ready-made presets such as Coordinates and Health can be added with one click when a player does not want to write a template.

An in-game editor opens with the H key, where widgets can be dragged to any spot on screen and styled. Each widget has its own background opacity, text opacity and scale, adjusted with sliders. Advanced users can also edit the underlying config files by hand. The mod is client-side only, so only the player who installs it sees the HUD, and servers and other players do not need it. Files are published for Fabric, with 0.1.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build.

Key features

  1. Live data placeholders

    Templates accept placeholders for coordinates, chunk position, facing direction, biome and in-game time.

  2. Armor and durability display

    Armor points, durability per slot and item icons for worn armor and held items can sit beside their numbers.

  3. Survival and travel stats

    Health, hunger, XP level, light level, difficulty, FPS, speed and the distance walked can be shown on the HUD.

  4. Real-world time

    A widget can display the real-world clock next to the in-game time.

  5. Per-widget styling

    Each widget has its own background opacity, text opacity and scale, set with sliders in the editor.
