Smart View
by crqzycat
Smart View is a modular client-side HUD mod in which each information display can be placed, resized and switched off on its own.
What it does
Each heads-up display element is a separate module that can be toggled, dragged to any spot on screen, and resized from a corner handle in steps of 0.25. Players enable only the modules they need, since all of them start disabled by default. The built-in editor opens with the Right Shift key, where a collapsible panel gives quick access to the right side of the screen.
The mod only reads information the vanilla client already receives, so it does not send extra data to a server and is described as safe on public servers. Fabric API is required. Smart View runs on the client alone, and the files target 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Builds are published for Fabric only, with version 8.0 as the latest file from 2026-06-28. Source code is publicly available.
Key features
Independent modules
Each HUD element is its own module, so a player can show only the information wanted and nothing else.
Drag and resize
Modules can be dragged across the screen, and a corner handle resizes them in steps of 0.25.
Background opacity
Holding Shift while scrolling over a module changes the opacity of its background.
Reset and search
A module can be reset to its default position, scale and opacity, and the module list can be searched and sorted.

Use cases
Clean survival screen
A player keeps only a few modules visible during play and moves them away from the crosshair area.
Public server play
Because it reads only vanilla client data, a player can use it on public servers without changing what the server sees.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want to choose which heads-up display information appears and where it sits on screen. Server owners do not need to install anything for it.
