UtilsMod
by VanyaKereng
UtilsMod is a Fabric client mod that puts a set of interface and gameplay helpers on the HUD, including real-time and game-time clocks, a mob counter and armor and durability readouts.
What it does
The HUD can show real-time and game-time clocks, the light level at the current block, and a count of nearby mobs within a radius set from 1 to 64 blocks. Some HUD elements can be moved to any position on screen, and the durability percentage of held items can be displayed. A simplified debug screen is available as well, and armor rendering is handled by the mod.
Gameplay helpers cover automatic sprinting, which starts sprinting without holding the sprint key, and Autototem, which places a totem back in the off hand once one has been used. A settings screen opens with the U key and lists the options; F6 opens an editor for moving HUD elements and dragging items between places. The settings list lets players toggle the custom block outline, set its color and opacity, choose one of three custom crosshairs, and set the HUD background opacity.
UtilsMod needs YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to run. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.21.4 and 1.21.5, and the latest file is 1.0+1.21.5 for 1.21.5, released 2025-06-22. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. The code is covered by All rights reserved and is not open source.
