schrumbos Inventory HUD
by schrumbo
With schrumbos Inventory HUD, the player's inventory, armor and hotbar stay visible on screen at all times without opening any menu.
What it does
The mod draws permanent overlays for the inventory, the armor slots and the hotbar, so the contents of each stay readable during play. The overlays are placed and styled through the config screen, which opens with a keybinding shortcut.
Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything on the server side. Fabric API must be installed alongside it on Fabric. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, with snapshot builds included, and the code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later.
