VitHud
by CryonLabs
VitHud puts a small set of playing details on the screen, such as slime chunk status, swamp slime conditions and the moon phase, in a compact layout.
What it does
The HUD is built to show useful information without filling the screen with too much. Its panel slides in with a smooth animation, and every element is placed so the view stays clean while playing. The focus is on giving the needed details in a plain, readable form.
Beyond the core display, the mod adds a handful of helpers that report slime chunk status and the moon phase without a separate menu. The mod is a Fabric client mod, so only the player's game needs it, and its effect on performance is light.
VitHud is published for Fabric only, across 17 release versions 1.21 – 26.3, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Files for 26.3 were last updated on 2026-10-06.
Key features
Slime chunk detection
The HUD reports whether the player stands in a slime chunk, a detail that matters for slime farms and exploration.
Swamp slime conditions
Conditions for swamp slime spawning are displayed, so players can check them while moving through swamps.
Moon phase display
The current moon phase is shown on the HUD, useful when planning night activity or farms that depend on it.
Smooth slide animation
The HUD panel slides into view with a smooth animation and a compact layout that keeps the screen uncluttered.

Use cases

Night planning
The moon phase readout helps players decide when to start night work or when to wait for a clear night.
Who it’s for: Players who want a clean, compact HUD with a few helpful readouts rather than a crowded overlay. The mod suits single-player and multiplayer clients alike, since only the client needs it.
How it compares
Simple Compass HUD is a Fabric client mod under the MIT License, published for 1.21.6 – 1.21.8, and it shows a compass rather than slime and moon data. Waylite covers 1.21.9 – 26.3 on Fabric as a client mod and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Aura HUD is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11 only and is also under All rights reserved.
