VexFPS
by Foccus
Players who want a simple frame rate readout can use VexFPS, a Fabric client mod that shows the current FPS on screen without opening the F3 debug screen.
What it does
The counter sits in the bottom-left corner by default and can be moved to another position through a GUI opened with J. Its text has a shadow to stay readable over busy scenes, and the HUD is kept to a clean, minimal layout that removes unnecessary background elements. Several color presets let the display match the rest of the interface.
VexFPS is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and servers do not. It requires Fabric API and is published for 1.21.11 only, in a single Fabric build dated 2026-06-18. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Settings are saved automatically, and the display can be toggled with U or hidden by a smart auto-hide tied to the F3 screen.

Checking performance quietly
A player who wants frame rate numbers without the full F3 screen can keep a small counter visible during play.
Tuning graphics settings
Players adjusting render distance or video options can watch the counter change while they test each setting.
Who it’s for: Players who want an FPS readout with minimal screen clutter, and players who prefer a counter that can be moved and recolored.
How it compares
HUD+ is a Fabric client mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11 with an all rights reserved license and no open source code, a wider HUD tool than a single counter. Show My FPS is a client-side only Fabric mod under the MIT License, open source, published for 1.21 – 1.21.5, so it covers fewer game versions than VexFPS.
