UTIL HUD
by NSI21
Util HUD gives Fabric players an on-screen overlay that can be toggled with the B key, plus a GUI for copying coordinates and reviewing recent death locations.
What it does
Util HUD is a Fabric mod that runs only on the client, so players install it and servers do not need it. Pressing B opens its GUI, where each HUD element can be switched on or off and positioned. The mod can copy the player's current coordinates from the GUI, and it keeps a list of the last 10 death locations that can also be copied. The list is written to a text file in the game folder, and the path to that file is shown in the GUI for quick access.
Other displays in the mod include a fullbright toggle and FPS and time readouts, all reached from the same GUI. The file util-hud-config.json stores the settings; deleting or renaming it restores the defaults on the next launch. Builds exist for 1.21 – 1.21.4 and the latest file targets 1.21.4. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want coordinates, death locations and a few display toggles in one overlay. The mod only runs on the client, so it suits single-player and multiplayer players alike, with no server installation.
