Nova Client
by Balint_00
Nova Client is a Fabric client mod that bundles PvP-focused HUD widgets, a minimap and several quality-of-life modules into one in-game interface.
What it does
Nova Client offers switchable client modules, among them keystroke display, a click counter, armor status, potion effect readouts, a coordinates readout, waypoints and a minimap. A custom in-game click GUI and a HUD editor let players move and scale each widget. The HUD editor opens with H, the click GUI with Right Shift, and the map with M.
Smaller utilities include toggle sprint, toggle sneak, an Auto GG chat filter and fullbright, along with a set of performance tweaks. Nova Client is meant to load quickly and to grow over time, and it runs without a separate launcher. It is installed on the client only, so servers do not need it. Files are published for Fabric, with three game versions covered: 1.21, 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, and 1.2.0 for 1.21 as the latest build, on the beta channel. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Nova Client is not a mod for server owners, who gain nothing from it on their side. Its scope is the client interface and personal settings, and the modules are switched on and off individually.
Key features
Toggleable HUD widgets
Keystrokes, a CPS counter, armor status, potion effects, coordinates and a minimap can each be switched on or off.
HUD editor
Widgets can be dragged to new positions and resized in an editor opened with H.
In-game click GUI
A custom click GUI, opened with Right Shift, lists the modules and their settings in one place.
Waypoints and fullbright
Waypoints can be placed for navigation, and fullbright lights dark areas without changing the world.

How it compares
Nova FPS Display is a Fabric client mod that shows frame rate, published for 26.1.2 – 26.2 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which makes it open source. Auto Totem Nova is also client-side only, for 1.16.5 – 26.1.2, and is not open source under All rights reserved. GlitchClient covers both Fabric and Forge for 1.20 – 1.21.4 and is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, so it is not open source. Nova Client targets 1.21 – 1.21.11 on Fabric alone.
