Overlay101
by ksdrz
Overlay101 is a Fabric client utility that hides or reshapes HUD elements, armor, particles and the offhand slot to reduce visual clutter.
What it does
Players use Overlay101 to strip the screen down to what they need. Individual armor HUD elements can be toggled, so the armor bar or the durability overlays can be hidden while the rest of the interface stays in place. Hiding the full HUD is also possible for players who want an unobstructed view of the world, which suits recording clips or cinematic screenshots.
Particle effects can be filtered one type at a time, so mining bits, blue XP splashes and potion swirls can be removed without turning off the others. Item offsets and a separate offhand slider move held items on screen, and a shield fix shifts the shield in 3D space so the arm no longer clips through it. A customizable menu key, F6 by default, opens the settings at any time.
Overlay101 requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings from the mod list. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it, and it has files for 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest Fabric file.
Key features
Toggleable armor elements
Armor, durability and other HUD elements can be shown or hidden one at a time.
Full HUD hiding
The entire interface can be switched off to leave the game view unobstructed.
Particle filter
Each particle group, such as mining bits or potion swirls, can be removed individually.
Independent offhand slider
The offhand item has its own position slider, so main-hand gear can be tucked away while the totem stays visible.
Shield fix
The shield is moved in 3D space so it does not clip into the player's arm.
