Journey HUD
by JohnyM
Journey HUD puts survival information on screen: a Forge client overlay that shows how long the character has lived since the last death, plus other session data.
What it does
Journey HUD is a lightweight client-side overlay for Minecraft that presents useful gameplay information directly on the screen, so no menu has to be opened to read it. Its focus is real-time information about survival progress in the current session, kept clean and minimal. It tracks a personal survival journey and reports the survival day count and the time since the last death alongside other helpful session data.
Settings are handled through a built-in configuration menu instead of chat commands. Players can change HUD visibility, position offsets, text color, which elements are displayed, and the format of the survival day text. The mod is optimized to run in both singleplayer and multiplayer, and because it is client-side only, only the client needs it, and a server can run without it.
Journey HUD is published for Forge only, with a single game version: 1.20.1. The latest file is 1.0.3, released on 2026-04-16, the same day the mod was first published. It is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.

Session data overlay
