SimpleFPS
With SimpleFPS installed, a player sees a frame counter, coordinates, the current biome and the in-game clock on the screen at all times.
What it does
SimpleFPS is a lightweight HUD utility for Fabric. Each of its displays can be turned on or off and moved to any spot on the screen, so the layout can be arranged around the chat and the crosshair. A built-in color picker sets the colors of the text and graphs, and an optional setting changes the FPS readout color when the value crosses set thresholds.
The mod works in single-player and on multiplayer servers, and only the client needs it. Required dependency: Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.9 – 26.2 across five release versions. The code is under the MIT License and is open source, with a public source repository and an issue tracker. The latest file is 1.5.0 for 26.2, dated 2026-06-23.
