Simple Info Display
by Jamicah
Simple Info Display is a Fabric utility that shows configurable information on the screen, such as facing direction and real time, in a HUD similar to Lunar's.
What it does
Players who want coordinates, facing direction or the current time visible while playing can place them in a heads-up display. Each entry can be turned on or off, moved into a different order, and given its own text color and background color. The HUD can also be shifted to any absolute position on screen.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's installation needs it and a server running vanilla content can stay as it is. Files are published for Fabric only, across 10 release versions 1.21 – 26.2, and the latest is 1.5.0+26.2 for 26.2, dated 2026-08-13. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings from the game menu. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features

Adjustable layout
Entries can be reordered, and the whole HUD can be moved to an absolute position on screen.
