MatchHUD
by Equitice
MatchHUD draws a client-side PvP score overlay on screen, with player heads and selectable themes, and detects the server it is joined to.
What it does
The overlay shows the running score during player-versus-player matches. Player heads, drawn beside the names, mark who is on each side. Automatic server detection switches the overlay on when a supported server is joined, so the display does not have to be enabled by hand. Servers that are not listed may not show the overlay, since support is only provided for the servers the author names.
Position and size are adjustable in game. Dragging the overlay moves it anywhere on the screen, and scrolling resizes it. Pressing T cycles the overlay through four looks: a transparent default, a Liquid Glass style and two others. The mod runs on Fabric only, so a Fabric loader and Fabric API are the setup it needs, and only the client needs the mod.
Files are published for 15 release versions, 1.21 – 26.1.2, with 1.0.0+26.1.2 for 26.1.2 as the latest build, released in the beta channel. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Score overlay
A live PvP score is drawn on screen while a match is running, so both sides can be read without opening a menu.
Player heads and themes
Player heads appear next to the names in the overlay, and the display can be restyled with a choice of themes.
Automatic server detection
The overlay turns on when the client joins a server it recognizes, so no manual setup is needed on those servers.
Drag and resize
The overlay can be dragged to any spot on the screen and scaled up or down with the scroll wheel.
Four looks
Pressing T cycles through four appearances, from a transparent default to a Liquid Glass style.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who join PvP servers on Fabric and want a score display on screen. Server owners do not need to install it, since only the client runs the mod.
How it compares
Light Overlay is also client-side only and uses Fabric, with files for 1.21.6 – 26.3 under a Creative Commons license that is not open source, so it covers a different range of versions. Subtitles+ is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and has files for 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, which overlaps this mod's version range. Fractal Combat is server-side only, so players join without it, and it is published only for 26.2 – 26.3 under a Creative Commons license.
