kUI

by Kalpe

kUI is a Fabric client-side interface layer for HUD elements, which the KALPE mods share, letting players move, resize and restyle the on-screen interface.

FabricClient-side onlyCustom license1.21.8 – 26.2

What it does

Each HUD element registers with kUI, and one render hook draws them all, so the order in which mods draw is set in one editor rather than by load order. Vanilla elements can be moved, resized or hidden without resource pack or mixin changes, and closing the screen returns each element to where it was.

Dragging an element anywhere switches it to free placement with a stored offset, while elements that are left docked stack automatically in a lane or corner so they cannot overlap however many mods add elements. Grouped elements, such as the hotbar and its bars, move together. A selection box measures each vanilla element by running its own renderer against throwaway state, so the box fits the real bounds, including the lines of the scoreboard.

Scale for the whole interface and scale and opacity for each individual element are adjusted together from one panel. The colour editor applies a chosen accent to panels, borders and kUI's own HUD cards, and mods that carry their own accent can be overridden. The mod runs on the client only, and it needs Fabric API on Fabric. Five Nights of changes are saved per game, and no server installation is needed.

Key features

  1. Element registry

    HUD elements register with one registry, and one render hook draws them, so their order is set in a single editor.

  2. Free placement and docking

    An element dragged anywhere keeps its offset, and docked elements stack in lanes or corners so they never overlap.

  3. Measured selection boxes

    Vanilla elements get a selection box sized by their own renderer, so the box matches the drawn bounds, including scoreboard lines.

  4. Scale and opacity controls

    A global UI scale and per-element scale and opacity sit in one place, and a key opens the editor.

  5. Accent colour editor

    A colour picker sets the accent used by panels, borders and HUD cards, and individual mods can keep or override their own accent.

Press K. Drag the hotbar somewhere better. Shrink the scoreboard. Hide the crosshair. Move a mod's card out from under your health bar. Close the screen, it stays that way. kUI is the shared interface layer behind the KALPE mods. Every HUD element from every kUI mod lands in one registry, draws through one render…
