What it does

Hotbar, health, armor, food and experience elements are scaled to 75 percent, while the scoreboard is scaled to 50 percent. The changes apply only to the player's own screen, so the mod is client-side only and servers do not need to install it. It is built for Fabric and targets 1.21.11 only, with the 1.0.0 file dated 2026-05-17. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Scaled hotbar and status bars

    Hotbar, health, armor, food and experience bars shrink to 75 percent of their normal size.

  2. Smaller scoreboard

    The scoreboard display is reduced to 50 percent so it takes up less of the screen.

  3. Client-only changes

    Scaling affects only the local client, so the server and other players see no difference.
