MovableHud
by NebulaJinxed
MovableHud lets players drag, resize, hide and fade custom HUD elements on screen, and it only does anything once another mod registers its elements with it.
What it does
Players move a HUD element by left-clicking it and dragging it to a new spot. Right-clicking resizes the element, and the scale changes smoothly. A middle click hides an element, and scrolling up or down makes it more or less transparent. Positions, sizes and visibility are restored automatically when the game starts.
MovableHud is a library for other mods rather than a standalone overlay. It is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it, and it targets Fabric alone. Four catalog mods depend on it: MovableCps, MovableArmorHud, MovableInventory and MovableCoords. Files are published for 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, and the latest file is 1.0.15+26.2 for 26.2, dated 2026-07-28.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, although its source code and issue tracker are public. First published on 2025-11-08, it sits in the Library category with Game mechanics and Utility as secondary categories.
Key features
Drag to move
Left-click and drag any registered HUD element to place it anywhere on the screen.
Right-click resize
Right-clicking an element resizes it, with smooth scaling rather than sudden jumps in size.
Middle-click hide
A middle click hides a HUD element, and it can be shown again from the same settings.
Transparency by scroll
Scrolling up makes an element more transparent and scrolling down reverses that change.
Automatic restore
The saved layout of every element is loaded automatically at startup, so the setup carries over.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Who it’s for: Players who run HUD mods alongside MovableHud, and mod authors who want their own overlays to be movable. No config editing is described in the author text.

What the author says
Movable HUD lets you freely move and resize custom HUD elements directly in Minecraft — no manual config editing needed. ### This mod does nothing by itself, only works once other mods use this as a library.
