MiraHUD
by SniperJohnny
MiraHUD lets a player place images and videos on the Minecraft screen as overlays, with each one positioned, sized and faded independently.
What it does
Overlays play over the game while the player keeps the world open, so a video or photo can stay visible without a browser or another window. Each overlay has its own position, size, opacity and anchor point, and a command-based widget system lets the player stack several overlays together to suit a layout.
Image formats covered include PNG, JPG, WEBP, TGA, BMP and GIF, and the video list spans MP4, MKV, WEBM, AVI, MOV, FLV and WMV. Loop playback repeats without a visible break, and each overlay can carry its own volume slider that follows the Minecraft master volume. The mod is Client-side only, so only the player needs it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Builds cover 1.21.11 – 26.3 on Fabric.
Key features
Overlay placement
Each overlay has a set position, size, opacity and anchor point, and stays put whatever resolution the game runs at.
Five anchor points
Overlays snap to a corner or the center, and a right-click returns an overlay to its anchor point.
Drag mode
A drag mode lets the player move an overlay around the screen until it looks right, without typing numbers.
Live settings
Changes show up on screen immediately, before the settings menu closes, and reopening the menu shows what was changed.

Use cases
Stream and build layouts
A player can keep a video in one corner and a photo in another while building, with volume set separately for each.
Reference material
Images and clips can sit over the game as reference, so a player does not have to switch to a browser.
Who it’s for: Players who want images or videos on screen during play, and players who arrange several overlays on the Minecraft screen.
