Inventory Hud
by slashThree
Inventory Hud is a Fabric client mod that shows selected PvP inventory items in a small overlay above the hunger bar.
What it does
Inventory Hud places chosen inventory items above the hunger bar, so a player can see and reach them during a fight without opening the inventory screen. The set of displayed items is selected by the player, and the overlay is kept small and non-intrusive so the rest of the screen stays clear.
The mod is aimed at PvP play and competitive combat, where quick access to items matters. It is lightweight and works alongside a clean, minimal HUD. Only the client runs it: a server does not need the mod, and players join without installing it. Builds cover 1.21 – 26.1.2 on Fabric, and the latest file, 2.0.1, targets 26.1.2. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, with the author slashThree.
Key features
Item overlay above hunger
Selected items appear in a row directly above the hunger bar, giving faster access during combat.
Selectable items
The player chooses which inventory items are shown in the overlay, so only the relevant ones take up space.
Minimal footprint
The display stays small and out of the way, so it does not cover the central play area.
Combat visibility
Items stay readable in the overlay during fights, reducing the need to open the inventory to check them.
