PowerHUD
PowerHUD is a Fabric client overlay that shows FPS, coordinates, biome, time and a custom F3 debug screen on the game HUD.
What it does
Players who want more information on screen while playing can use PowerHUD, which draws a configurable overlay on the HUD and replaces the default F3 debug screen with a tabbed layout. Fabric API is required, and the mod is client-side only, so a server does not need to install it. Files are published for Fabric alone, for 1.21.4 and 26.3, with 1.14.1 for 26.3 as the latest build, released 2026-10-02.
The overlay covers frames per second with color-coded readings, a dot that pulses with performance, and minimum, maximum and average FPS that can be reset with a single key. Coordinates, facing direction in cardinal directions and degrees, the current biome and an in-game clock with a day and night indicator are also shown. The configuration screen opens with U then O, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.

Tabbed F3 debug screen
