uimage overlay
by fafner
uimage overlay lets players place their own PNG, JPG and animated GIF images on the Minecraft HUD as client-side overlays.
What it does
Images are added from files on the computer and then placed on screen with exact pixel coordinates, scaling, rotation and transparency. Animated GIFs play with an adjustable frame delay, which suits stream alerts, small pets or memes in the corner of the view. Overlays are saved automatically to a config file, so the layout returns after restarting the game.
Players, creators and streamers who want a more personal interface are the audience this mod is aimed at. Players open the manager with the Left Bracket key, use Add Image to pick a file, then select it in the list to tweak its settings. The interface is available in English and Russian.
Installation needs Fabric. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. Files are published for Fabric only, across 1.21.1, 1.21.2 and 1.21.4, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
PNG, JPG and GIF support
Static PNG and JPG files and animated GIFs can be added straight from the computer as overlays.
Pixel-precise placement
Each overlay takes X and Y coordinates in pixels, so its position on the HUD can be set exactly.
Scale, rotation and alpha
Each image can be resized, rotated in degrees, and set to a transparency level from 0 to 100 percent for a ghost-like effect.
GIF speed control
The animation speed of a GIF is adjusted through its frame delay, so playback can be slowed or sped up.

Who it’s for: The mod suits players and creators who want to customize the in-game screen with personal images or GIFs. It is a client-side tool, so it does not affect how a server runs.
