Power HUD
by vmarinho22
Power HUD shows a real-time clock, a roll compass and coordinates on the player's heads-up display, all configured through a single client mod for Fabric.
What it does
The mod adds information readouts to the screen while a player plays. Its display covers a real-time clock, a compass that rolls with the view, and coordinates, with the wider set described by the author as clock, compass, coordinates and similar HUD elements. Because it draws only on the HUD, it changes no blocks, items or world generation.
Power HUD is published for Fabric alone, with builds for every game version 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, as six release versions. Fabric API is required, and Java 17 or newer must run the game. The license is MIT License, so the source code is open source and the issue tracker is public. Installation is a single file placed in the mods folder of the .minecraft directory, then starting the game with Fabric API present.
Only the client needs the mod, so single-player and multiplayer players install it while servers do not need it. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.6, dated 2024-06-03, the same day the mod was first published and last updated.
Key features
Real-time clock display
A clock on the HUD shows the real-time clock, so players can read the time without opening a menu.
Roll compass
A compass on the HUD turns with the player's view, giving a heading at a glance.
Coordinates readout
The player's coordinates appear on the HUD, alongside the clock and compass.
Single display overlay
The clock, compass and coordinates share one overlay, so no separate windows are opened to see them.
