What it does

The overlay shows the current frame rate in the top-left corner and recolors the number as the frame rate changes, with a different color at 60 FPS and at 120 FPS. Pressing N, a key that can be changed, opens the settings page. The mod is described as very lightweight, and it is published for Fabric and Forge with Fabric files for 26.2 and Forge files for 1.20.1.

Files cover 1.20.1 – 26.2 across 13 release versions. ShowFPS is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so either side may use it.
