Info Is Power!
by chaosunity
Info Is Power! gives the player a configurable HUD that shows more game information on screen, including biome, health, position and held items.
What it does
The HUD displays the current biome, player position, and a digitized readout of health, hunger, saturation and armor. Armor, held items and their durability, enchantments and the contents of containers such as chests, barrels and shulker boxes can be shown as well, with bee hives, explorer maps, potions, tools and weapons also covered. A player list for the server appears on the same overlay.
Info Is Power! runs on Fabric and is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing it. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.17 and 1.17.1, with 3.1.0 for 1.17.1 as the latest file, released 2021-07-09.
Key features
Biome and position readout
The current biome and the player's coordinates are shown on the HUD while the game runs.
Vitals display
Health, hunger, saturation and armor are drawn as numeric values instead of icons alone.
Held item and container details
Held items, durability, enchantments and the contents of chests, barrels and shulker boxes can be displayed.
Player list
A list of the players on the server is shown alongside the other information.
Display modes
A display mode setting controls how the overlay is laid out on screen.
Configuration screen
A Fabric config screen opens from a key binding so the displayed entries can be changed in game.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Surveying a world
A player exploring for a base site can read the biome and coordinates without opening a debug screen.
Checking gear and containers
A player managing tools or storage can see durability and chest contents while playing.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.17 or 1.17.1 who want more on-screen information. Server owners do not need to install anything for it.
How it compares
Info HUD is Fabric and client-side only, is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21.7 – 1.21.10, so it targets a much later version range than Info Is Power!. Mod Info Command is server-side only, open source under the BSD 3-Clause License and published for 1.16.5 only, so it adds a command rather than a HUD. Armor HUD is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.11.
