Lucas' Flight Hud

by LucasJoel1

Lucas' Flight Hud puts a small elytra flight display on screen, showing speed, heading and height while a player glides.

What it does

The HUD appears while a player flies with an elytra. A bar shows speed in blocks per second, a direction readout tells which way the player faces, and a separate bar shows whether the player is looking high or low. A height reading gives the distance down to the closest block below. Each piece reports only flight data, so the screen stays small.

The mod is built for Fabric and runs on the client alone, so only the player needs it and a server can run without it. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 1.20.4 and 1.21, with 1.0.2 for 1.21 as the latest build from 2024-06-24.

Key features

  1. Simple elytra HUD

    A compact overlay that appears only while the player is gliding, leaving the rest of the screen clear.

  2. Speed readout

    A bar displays the current speed in blocks per second, updating as the flight changes.

  3. Direction and pitch

    Heading is shown alongside a bar that tells whether the player is looking high or low.

  4. Height above ground

    The height over the closest block below is displayed, which helps with landing approaches.

  5. Configuration menu

    A settings screen lets the player switch each HUD feature on or off.

Use cases

Long glides

Players crossing a wide area by elytra can watch speed and height without opening a debug screen.

Landing approaches

The height readout helps players judge how far they are from the ground before they touch down.

Who it’s for: Players who fly with elytra on Fabric and want flight stats on screen. Server owners do not need to install it, since the mod runs on the client only.

How it compares

Full comparison

Elytra HUD is a Fabric client mod under the MIT License, covering 1.20 – 1.21.5, and is open source. Neo Elytra Flight HUD is also a Fabric client mod, open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, but it covers only 1.20 – 1.20.6. Elytra Flight Control is open source under the MIT License and runs on both client and server, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, so it needs installation on the server too.
