Overlay HUD Mod
by terrorists
Overlay HUD Mod draws coordinates, time, status effects and armor information on the in-game screen while a player plays.
What it does
The HUD shows the player's XYZ coordinates, the direction the player faces and the real-world time, along with the equipped armor and durability numbers for each piece. Status effects appear in a centered indicator, with positive and negative effects kept apart from each other.
The mod is a Fabric client mod: only the client needs it, and servers run without it. It is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and the source code is public. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 26.2, with files for 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.5 and 26.2, and the latest file targets 26.2 and was published on 2026-08-01.
Key features
Coordinates and facing
XYZ coordinates and a compass direction that follows the way the player is moving are shown on screen.
Real-world time
The current real-world time is displayed alongside the in-game information on the HUD.
Status effect indicator
A centered indicator lists active effects, with positive and negative effects displayed in separate groups.
Expiring effects
As a status effect nears its end, its timer changes color and its icon blinks to signal that it is about to run out.
Armor and durability
Equipped armor pieces are displayed, with item durability shown as numbers.

Use cases
Navigation while exploring
Coordinates and facing direction help a player keep track of position while traveling across a large world.
Managing timed effects
The blinking timers make it easier to notice potion or beacon effects that are close to expiring during a fight.
Who it’s for: Players who want more information on screen during survival or creative play and do not need the vanilla HUD unchanged.
How it compares
Simple Sprint Display HUD is a Fabric client mod for 1.21 – 26.2 under the MIT License, and it focuses on sprint display. HudBro is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so it does not cover 26.2. HUDTexts is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11 only and is not open source under a Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license, so it cannot be used with the 26.2 build.
