PIPphone
PIPphone brings a phone HUD and app menu into Minecraft 1.21.1, with live vehicle telemetry from CarLib shown on the phone screen.
What it does
Once installed, a phone interface appears in the game's HUD. Its app menu opens from the keyboard and gives access to the phone's features, and the screen is drawn in a clean, stylish layout. The phone is built for roleplay and city-style servers, where players want a more involved experience than vanilla offers.
When CarLib is present, PIPphone displays live vehicle telemetry, such as driving information, on the phone while a player drives. The mod is intended for modern roleplay servers and single-player worlds that use vehicles. Fabric API is required, and the mod is released under the MIT License. It is not open source, and files exist only for Fabric on 1.21.1, published 2026-05-28.
Key features
In-game phone HUD
A phone display sits in the HUD and opens an app menu styled to look modern and clean.
Vehicle telemetry
Live driving information from vehicles is shown on the phone screen when CarLib is installed.
CarLib integration
The phone reads vehicle data from CarLib, so vehicle use and the phone screen work together.
Roleplay and city-style use
The phone fits modern roleplay and city-style worlds where players interact with vehicles and systems.

Use cases
Roleplay servers
Server owners running modern roleplay worlds can give players a phone with an app menu and vehicle information.
Driving in cities
Players who drive vehicles in city builds can check telemetry on the phone instead of leaving the road.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who run or join roleplay and city-style Fabric servers on 1.21.1 that use vehicles and want an in-game phone.
How it compares
PDcar (G63) is a Fabric vehicle mod for 1.21.11, released under the MIT License, and it runs on client and server. RP Voice Additions is a Fabric mod for 1.21.8 – 26.1.2 under All rights reserved, also client and server. PIPphone covers 1.21.1 only, with the phone HUD and CarLib telemetry, so it suits servers still on that version.
