PotionEffects
by P1xelMC
PotionEffects replaces the vanilla status effect display with a left-side HUD of icon boxes, each showing the effect and its remaining time.
What it does
Active effects appear as clean icon boxes on the left side of the screen, vertically centred. Each box shows the effect icon with a timer directly beside it, so the remaining duration can be read at a glance. Roman numerals mark the effect level, and they can be switched off. Infinite effects show a symbol in place of a countdown.
The HUD is meant to keep active effects visible without distraction. When an effect nears its end, the border and timer numerals turn red and flash, and the server-independent threshold, set in seconds, decides how early that starts; a value of 0 turns the flashing off. The overall opacity of the HUD can be adjusted, and the timer can be placed inside the icon box or to its right.
The mod runs on Fabric and needs Fabric API. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players can join without installing it. Files exist for 1.21.11 and 26.2, with 2.1.0 for 26.2 as the latest build, published under the MIT License. The project is not open source.
