RemoveHUD
by IzzyDotExe
RemoveHUD lets players switch off parts of the in-game HUD, with a single key that hides the whole overlay and separate options for the hand and the block outline.
What it does
A rebindable key, F7 by default, toggles the whole HUD on and off. Each element can also be hidden on its own from the options screen, opened with F8, so the hand, the block outline or single parts of the overlay can be removed while the rest stays visible. Hiding the HUD leaves the hand in place, and hiding the hand leaves the HUD in place.
Cloth Config API supplies the options screen, Fabric API is needed for the mod to load, and Mod Menu provides the entry point to its settings. Fabric is the only loader with files, and the project publishes files for 14 release versions 1.16.5 – 26.2, with the alpha build for 26.2 as the latest file, released in the alpha channel on 2026-07-17. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
Key features
Whole HUD toggle
One key hides the complete overlay and brings it back, with the key rebindable in the controls menu.
Hand separate from HUD
The first-person hand can be removed without hiding the HUD, and the HUD can be hidden while the hand stays.
Block outline option
The outline drawn around the block under the crosshair can be turned off from the options menu.
Per-element options
Individual HUD elements can be toggled in the F8 options menu instead of all at once.

Use cases
Screenshots and recording
Players who capture images or video can hide the overlay for a clean frame and restore it afterward.
Immersion-focused play
Players who want fewer on-screen indicators can remove only the elements they do not need.
Who it’s for: Players on the Fabric loader who want control over which parts of the in-game overlay are drawn. Only the client needs the mod, so server owners do not have to install it.
