Ultimate Hud
by Natxo
Ultimate Hud puts essential information on the screen during play, with a HUD that can show mob and entity counts, TPS and tool durability.
What it does
The HUD displays a set of essential readouts on the player's screen. Mob Counter and Entity Counter track how many of each are loaded, TPS reports the server tick rate, and Tool Durability shows the remaining durability of held tools. An underline can be drawn behind each HUD line, and the text colors can be changed.
Every setting lives in the ultimatehud.json file inside the config folder of the Minecraft directory. Options can be switched on or off with true and false values, and the final option in the file sets the HUD's position. With Mod Menu installed, the same options can be changed from inside the game instead of by editing the file.
Ultimate Hud requires Fabric API and Cloth Config API, and needs Fabric Loader 0.15.11 or newer. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it. Its latest Fabric file is 0.6.1-B-1.21.1 for 1.21.1, and builds cover 1.20.4 – 1.21.1.
