Simple Transport HUD
by lukasabbe
Simple Transport HUD shows a heads-up display for the vehicles and mounts a player is riding, such as horses, donkeys, Happy Ghasts and striders.
What it does
The mod draws a compact HUD for each supported transport, so a rider can read the status of the mount without leaving the game view. It covers horses and donkeys, Happy Ghasts and striders, and the HUD layout can be adjusted through the configuration screen. Because the display is drawn on the client, it has no effect on server logic.
Configuration opens from Mod Menu through YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), with a long list of options for the display. Simple Transport HUD requires Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and runs on Fabric for game versions 1.21.11 – 26.3, with snapshot builds also published. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Mount status display
A HUD shows information about the transport the player is currently riding, for horses, donkeys, Happy Ghasts and striders.
Adjustable options
A configuration screen covers the display settings, so the HUD can be arranged to suit the player.
Mod Menu access
The options are reached from Mod Menu, with the YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) screen used for editing.
Client-only install
Only the player needs the mod, and a server runs without it because the HUD is drawn on the client.

Use cases
Riding a Happy Ghast
A player flying on a Happy Ghast can keep the mount's status in view while crossing open terrain.
Long horse journeys
A rider crossing a large map on a horse or donkey can check the transport's state from the same screen.
Who it’s for: Players who ride horses, donkeys, Happy Ghasts or striders and want their mount's status shown on screen. Because it runs only on the client, it suits single-player worlds and any multiplayer server, since the server does not need the mod.
How it compares
Minecart HUD is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.5 – 26.2, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and open source, and it covers minecarts rather than mounts. Happy Ghast Autopilot is a Fabric mod for 1.21.6 – 26.2 that runs on client and server with all rights reserved, so both sides need it. Simple Transport HUD is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, for 1.21.11 – 26.3.
