PureHUD
by Felky_
PureHUD is a lightweight, customizable text HUD that shows live information such as FPS, coordinates and biome in a screen corner.
What it does
Lines in the overlay are configured with placeholders, so a line can show the frame rate as a percentage, the coordinates, the current biome or other live values. Players choose which lines appear and how they are arranged, and the overlay stays out of the way of the rest of the screen.
A custom text line can be placed at the top of the HUD through a chat command, which lets a player write any message of their own into the overlay. The author describes the mod as having minimal performance impact, and its only external dependency besides the loader is Fabric API. PureHUD runs on the client alone and is published for Fabric across two release versions, 1.21.11 and 26.2, with 1.0.1 for 26.2 as the latest file. The code is closed: the mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Placeholder-driven lines
Each HUD line is built from placeholders such as fps% and coords%, so the displayed values update as the game runs.
Corner text overlay
Live information appears in a corner of the screen as plain text, with the line order and content set in the configuration.
Custom top line
A chat command sets a custom text line at the top of the HUD, useful for a note or a reminder while playing.
Biome and coordinates
Biome name and position can sit alongside the frame rate, giving a compact readout without opening any menu.

How it compares
Coords HUD is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11, released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and not open source, and it shows coordinates only. Show My FPS is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21 – 1.21.5, so it suits a frame-rate readout alone. Simple Hud is client-side only, under the MIT License, not open source, and published for 1.21 – 1.21.1, which is a different version range from PureHUD's 1.21.11 and 26.2 builds. AlwaysStats is open source under CC0 1.0 Universal for 1.21.11 and shows a set of always-on statistics.
