Visual HUD
by ghiasbroun5j
Visual HUD, a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11, draws a customizable overlay on the client that shows coordinates, FPS, biome, time and other readouts.
What it does
Each readout is a separate element that can be toggled on or off on its own, and the overlay can be repositioned. Coordinates show the XYZ position with green highlighting, while the biome shows the current biome name in a readable format. Time is displayed as a 12-hour clock with an AM/PM marker and a day or night icon, alongside the current in-game day count. Light level reports block and sky light values, and speed shows real-time movement in meters per second.
The mod's settings open from an in-game config screen, reached by pressing C, where players can pick from ten accent colors and reset the HUD position to its default. Controls are rebindable through Minecraft's own Controls settings. Visual HUD runs on the client alone, so a server needs no installation for it to work. The mod is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
