SatuHud
SatuHud shows the current saturation value, a hidden food stat, as a small overlay next to the vanilla hunger bar.
What it does
Minecraft tracks saturation but never displays it. SatuHud places a compact readout beside the hunger bar, showing a single number such as Sat 12.4. The value updates every frame with no smoothing lag, so a player can see exactly when saturation reaches zero and hunger begins to drain. Saturation above zero leaves the hunger bar unchanged, which makes the transition predictable.
The number is tinted on a gradient from red when empty, through orange and yellow at low levels, to green when full, so the state can be read at a glance without reading digits. The overlay is toggled with the U key by default, and the key can be changed in the controls settings. It respects the vanilla F1 hide-HUD setting, so it disappears with the rest of the interface.
SatuHud is a client-side mod for Fabric on Minecraft 1.21.8 – 1.21.11. Installation requires Fabric API. The overlay is a pure client change, so a server does not need the mod and players can join servers without installing it. The code is released under the MIT License, which is not an open source license.
Key features
Saturation readout
A single number shows the current saturation level, placed beside the hunger bar where the vanilla game shows nothing.
Red-to-green gradient
The readout changes color from red at zero through orange and yellow to green when saturation is full.
Live updates
The value refreshes every frame, so changes appear as soon as food is eaten or hunger drops.
Toggle key
Pressing U shows or hides the overlay, and the binding can be reassigned in the controls menu.
Respects the HUD toggle
The overlay follows the vanilla F1 setting, so it hides together with the rest of the interface.

SatuHud adds a tiny HUD overlay next to the vanilla hunger bar that shows your current saturation -- the hidden food stat that Minecraft tracks but never displays. While saturation is above zero, your hunger bar doesn't decrease; once it hits zero, every action starts draining hunger. SatuHud lets you see exactly…
