MSIandHud
by SrBeats
MSIandHud shows a performance overlay in the top-left corner of the Minecraft HUD, reporting FPS, CPU usage, RAM, VRAM and the GPU name in real time.
What it does
Once installed, the overlay appears automatically in the top-left corner of the screen and displays frame rate, processor load, memory use and graphics hardware details while the game runs. Its layout is inspired by the MSI Afterburner monitoring tool. A customizable keybind toggles the overlay on or off at any time during play.
The mod is a client-side only utility, so servers do not need it and players can join a server without installing it. It is built for Minecraft 1.21.11 on Fabric and requires Fabric API and Mod Menu. Its files are released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Fabric Loader 0.18.1 or newer is needed to run it. The latest Fabric file, 1.1.0 for 1.21.11, was published on 2026-03-06, the same day the mod first appeared in the catalog.
Key features
Real-time performance overlay
A HUD panel draws frame rate, CPU usage, RAM, VRAM and the GPU name over the game, refreshing while the game runs.
Color-coded FPS
The frame rate counter turns green at 60 or more frames per second, yellow between 30 and 59, and red below 30.
Color-coded CPU load
Processor usage is shown in blue up to 50 percent, orange from 50 to 79 percent, and red at 80 percent and above.
Memory and graphics readouts
RAM usage is listed as used and total memory in megabytes, VRAM shows an estimated video memory figure, and the GPU name identifies the graphics card.
Keybind toggle
A customizable key shows or hides the overlay at any point, so the panel can be kept out of screenshots.
