StarHUD

by Finside

StarHUD puts configurable overlays on the game screen, showing armor durability, coordinates, direction, ping, the in-game clock, weather, biome and dimension.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 26.3

What it does

Each overlay can be switched on or off, so a player shows only the readouts they need. Armor durability and the held item's durability and count are drawn near the hotbar. The coordinate display can switch to Nether coordinates when the player is in the Nether, and a horizontal yaw readout shows the facing direction. Ping, the in-game clock with a weather indicator, and biome and dimension labels are available as separate panels. The inventory overlay is disabled by default.

Installation needs Cloth Config API, which provides the settings screen. ImmediatelyFast is optional and speeds up HUD rendering. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Because the mod is client-side only, it is not needed on a server, and servers do not have to install it.

Use cases

Building and mining

Coordinates and direction help players track positions in caves or the Nether without opening the debug screen.

Tracking gear

Armor durability is visible during long trips, so players can swap pieces before they break.

Who it’s for: Players who want more information on screen while they play single-player or multiplayer, and who are willing to spend some frame rate on it.

Questions

Does StarHUD need Cloth Config API?

Yes. Cloth Config API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside StarHUD on every loader.

Will StarHUD lower frame rate?

Yes, the author notes that HUD rendering can reduce FPS, and in the worst case the loss reaches about 60 percent. ImmediatelyFast is recommended as an optional companion to speed up HUD rendering.

Does the server need StarHUD?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.
