KeyboardAndMouseOverlay
KeyboardAndMouseOverlay draws a customizable on-screen display of keystrokes and mouse movements for players in PvP.
What it does
The overlay shows which keys and mouse buttons are pressed, along with mouse movement, in a HUD element on screen. It is built for the PvP community and targets Fabric 1.20.1, where it draws a clean, lag-free visualization. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it and players install it on their own game.
The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its only published build is version 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2026-04-18, and it requires Fabric API for that version.
Key features
Keystroke display
Pressed keys are shown on screen as they are held, so a player can read their own inputs during a fight.
Mouse movement view
Mouse movements and button presses are drawn on the HUD, making aim changes visible at a glance.
Lightweight HUD
The overlay is built to draw with little overhead, so it adds minimal load to the game during play.
