Simple HUD Enhanced
by SoRadGaming
With Simple HUD Enhanced, the on-screen overlay can show coordinates with direction, speed, light level, FPS and TPS in positions the player chooses.
What it does
The mod replaces the default overlay with a set of informational elements that can be turned on, moved and resized. Coordinates appear with a compass direction, vertical and horizontal velocity are tracked, and a light level readout reports the brightness at the player's position. FPS and TPS counters report frame rate and server tick rate, and the TPS readout works on the client side.
Each element can be repositioned anywhere on the screen and scaled to suit the player's preferences. The options that change how each piece of information is presented are grouped in one place. The mod runs in the client only, so the server does not need it and joining a server needs nothing extra. Installation needs Fabric API. Cloth Config API is bundled inside the mod, and Mod Menu is optional and adds a settings screen when it is present.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Its files are published for Fabric only, across 34 release versions, 1.17 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric file is 4.7.5 for 26.3 on the beta channel.

Movable and resizable HUD

Use cases
Navigation in large worlds
Players exploring far from spawn can read their position and heading without opening the debug screen.
Mining and farming
The light level readout helps a player check whether a spot is dark enough for mob spawning or bright enough for crops.
Who it’s for: Players who want to track position, movement and performance on screen while they play on a Fabric client. The mod is client-side only, so server owners do not need to install it.
How it compares
Hudifyy is also a Fabric client mod with a MIT License that is not open source, and its files cover 1.15 – 26.3. Elytra Pitch is a Fabric client mod under the MIT License that is open source, and its files cover 1.20.1 – 26.3, so it focuses on elytra flight rather than a general HUD. MultiHUD is a Fabric client mod under the MIT License that is not open source, published for 1.20 – 26.2.
