Nova FPS Display
Nova FPS Display shows the current frame rate on screen in real time, as a small counter that players can move, resize and recolor.
What it does
The counter updates continuously while the game runs and can be placed anywhere on the screen. Players can change its color and size, add a drop shadow, or hide it whenever they want. Only the client needs the mod, so players can use it on any server without asking the server owner to install anything. Nova FPS Display requires Mod Menu to open its configuration screen, and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) is also required. The mod is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, and the source code is open source. Fabric files cover 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.2.0 for 26.2 as the latest file.
Key features
Movable counter
The FPS readout can be dragged to any position on the screen so it stays out of the way of other HUD elements.
Color and size options
Players pick the text color and scale the counter, and can toggle a drop shadow to keep it readable on bright backgrounds.
Simple real-time display
The counter shows only the frame rate, updated live, with no extra panels or clutter added to the screen.
