Vignette Status
by Renthy
Vignette Status is a client-side Fabric utility that draws a vignette overlay on the screen when health, hunger or air drops.
What it does
When health, hunger or air runs low, the mod draws a colored vignette around the edges of the screen. Its fade speed can be adjusted, and the color of the overlay can be changed, so players can tune how strong the warning looks. The effect begins once hearts, hunger points or air bubbles are lost, and each of the three can be watched separately.
Only the client needs the mod, so players can join a server without installing it. It requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu, and the settings screen is reached through Mod Menu. Builds exist only for Fabric and only for 1.21.5, and the single file is version 1.0, published on 2025-05-19 under the MIT License. The mod is not open source, and it is listed with an issue tracker for bug reports. Vignette Status works alongside Iris, Sodium and Lithium, according to the author.
Key features
Low health vignette
A colored overlay appears at the screen edges when hearts are lost, giving an early visual warning.
Hunger and air warnings
The same overlay can react to low hunger and low air, so each survival meter has its own cue.
Adjustable fade speed
The speed at which the vignette fades in and out can be changed in the mod settings.
Custom vignette color
The color of the overlay can be picked, letting players match it to their texture pack or taste.

Use cases
Survival play
Players who fight mobs or explore caves can see at a glance when health, hunger or air needs attention.
Modded packs with shaders
The author states compatibility with Iris, Sodium and Lithium, so the overlay can be used in optimized shader setups.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.21.5 who want a visual warning for low survival meters. Only the client side is affected, so single-player and multiplayer clients both run it alone.
