Simple Hud

by Natxo

Simple Hud shows a small overlay with frames per second, coordinates and ping, so players can read those values without opening a debug screen.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21 – 1.21.1

What it does

On the client, Simple Hud draws a compact overlay with the current FPS, the player's coordinates and the connection ping. The overlay can be adjusted through a simplehud.json file in the config folder, and Mod Menu offers a way to reach those settings from the game. Only the client needs the mod, so a server can run without it and players join without installing anything.

Installation needs Fabric Loader, Fabric API and Cloth Config API. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Builds exist for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 0.2.1-1.21.1 as the latest file, and bug reports go to the project's issue tracker.

Key features
