SimpleHud
by Kyati
SimpleHud puts a configurable set of information displays on the screen, including sprint state, frames per second, ping and the current time, for players on Fabric.
What it does
Each display can be placed at a chosen spot on the screen, so the HUD can be arranged around the rest of the interface. The sprint indicator shows whether the player is sprinting, the FPS display reports the frame rate, the ping display shows the current connection latency, and a clock shows the in-game or real time of day. The mod is described by its author as a minimalist PvP-oriented HUD with many features, and as a lightweight option that can be customized.
The mod is published for Fabric only, with files for 26.2 and 26.3. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The latest file, 1.3.0 for 26.3, was published on 2026-10-11, and the mod was first released on 2026-08-03.

Ping display

Use cases
Multiplayer play
A player on a server can keep ping visible at a glance while fighting or travelling.
Performance checks
A player who wants to watch frame rate during builds or while changing settings can keep the FPS display on screen.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want a small set of information displays and the option to move each one. Because the mod runs on the client alone, it can be added to a single-player game or to a client that joins any server.
How it compares
Magic Hud is a Fabric HUD that runs client-side only under the MIT License, but it is built for game versions 1.21.6 – 1.21.11, so it does not cover 26.2 or 26.3. Old Armor HUD is also a Fabric client-side mod under the MIT License, and it targets 26.2 – 26.3, the same range as SimpleHud. It displays armor information instead of the sprint, FPS, ping and time displays SimpleHud offers.
