itemhud
by sankwiitop
itemhud puts a list of items on the screen during play, and lets players save and reload different HUD layouts for PvP and other uses.
What it does
Itemhud draws an item display screen in the HUD and gives players a command system to switch it on, off and adjust it. Its built-in configuration system creates, loads and manages settings files, so a layout can be kept as its own setup and recalled later. Players who want a settings panel can reach it through Mod Menu, which the mod supports as a companion.
The mod is aimed at combat-focused play, where a quick view of inventory items helps while fighting. It runs only on the client, so players install it themselves and servers need nothing. Files are published for Fabric only, across ten release versions 1.21.1 – 26.2, and the source code is open under the MIT License.
