Mine's Better HUD

by Fox Studios by teolm30

Mine's Better HUD restyles the screens that Minecraft's inventory, chest, furnace and crafting menus use, with cleaner pixel borders and darker panels.

What it does

The restyle reaches the player inventory, chest and container screens, furnace, blast furnace and smoker panels, crafting table with its recipe book controls, plus villager, horse, shulker box and hopper interfaces. Panels take a dark charcoal slate color, slot borders are drawn crisply at pixel level, and empty slots are easier to tell apart. The vanilla layout stays where players expect it.

Only the client is changed. The mod adds no items, blocks, dimensions, recipes or gameplay mechanics, and it runs on single-player worlds and multiplayer servers alike. Because gameplay mechanics on the server are not altered, servers still need the mod installed. It is a Fabric mod with files for game version 26.2 only, released as 1.0.0 on 2026-08-24 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Redesigned inventory

    The player inventory screen gets a cleaner, darker layout with refined buttons and readable controls.

  2. Pixel-perfect slot borders

    Slot outlines are drawn with crisp pixel edges, and empty slots are clearer than in vanilla.

  3. Container and crafting screens

    Chests, furnaces, blast furnaces, smokers and the crafting table recipe book receive refined panels and controls.

  4. Workstation screens

    Screens for anvils, smithing tables, enchanting tables, brewing stands, looms, stonecutters and cartography tables get the same dark, pixel-based look.
