What it does

Simplevisuals is a lightweight Fabric mod that changes only how information is shown on screen, leaving gameplay mechanics as they are. Anime-style speed lines appear at the screen edges when the player moves fast, such as during Elytra flight, and their color, density and speed threshold can be adjusted. Duration bars under potion icons in the inventory and HUD show how long each effect has left, so players can see when a buff is about to run out.

Cloth Config API is required for the settings screen, and Mod Menu is optional but lets the options be opened from the mod list. Simplevisuals is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Its source code is public. Files target 1.21.11 only, with the latest Fabric build 1.0.7 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-01-08 after a first release on 2025-12-18. The client needs the mod, while the server may skip it, and it works on vanilla servers.

Key features

  1. Speed lines

    Anime-style lines appear at the screen edges when the player moves fast, with adjustable color, density and threshold.

  2. Elytra pitch helper

    While gliding, guide lines are drawn on screen so the player can keep the angle within the 40 to -40 degree maximum.

  3. Status effect bars

    A duration bar sits directly under each potion icon in the inventory and HUD.

  4. Chat heads

    The skin face of each player is drawn next to their chat messages.

  5. Player locator

    Across the top of the display, a strip resembling a compass indicates where other players are, measured from the viewer's position.

  6. Death messages

    A custom death message can optionally include the player's death coordinates.

  7. Held item tooltips

    Durability and enchantments of the item in hand are shown without opening the inventory.
