Simple Elytra Hud
by lukasabbe
Simple Elytra HUD puts a flight readout on screen while a player glides with Elytra wings, showing pitch, speed, coordinates and a compass.
What it does
The HUD displays the pitch angle, the current speed in km/h, and coordinates while the player is in flight. Speed can instead be shown in m/s or mph, and the number of decimal places shown for coordinates can be adjusted. A compass sits on the right side of the screen and points in the direction the player is heading, so a normal compass is not needed for navigation.
The overlay can be toggled, and a delay sets how long after takeoff it appears. Elytra status can be shown as a damage level, and the coordinates can be hidden separately. Arrows indicate climbing, descending and level flight, and light up when the player is rising. The mod runs in the client only, so servers do not need it. Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required, and YACL supplies the settings screen reached through Mod Menu.

How it compares
Elytra Time is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and covers Fabric 1.19 – 1.21.11, while Simple Elytra HUD targets 1.20.4 – 1.21.11 and is open source under the MIT License. Fast Elytra is closed under All rights reserved and runs on Fabric 1.21 – 1.21.6, so it covers fewer versions. All the HUD (JP Studios) is closed under All rights reserved and spans 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, offering a broader HUD set rather than an Elytra-focused one.
