SAO HUD

by SirDrake2

SAO HUD replaces the default in-game interface with an overlay styled after the Sword Art Online anime, showing health, creatures and player information.

NeoForgeClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21 – 26.3

What it does

The mod draws a heads-up display whose icons and health bars follow the look of the anime, and its UI overhaul is meant to match that aesthetic. Its settings live in the saohud-common.toml file in the config folder, where the parameters of the HUD can be adjusted. It runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it.

Key features

  1. Anime-style health bars

    Health bars and status icons are drawn in the visual style of the Sword Art Online series.

  2. Creature and player display

    The overlay shows information about nearby creatures and the player on screen.

  3. Adjustable HUD parameters

    Layout and display values can be changed through the saohud-common.toml file in the config folder.
