Widgets
by euphorria_a
Widgets places live readouts such as FPS, ping, coordinates, time and memory on the Minecraft HUD, configured through a Cloth Config screen.
What it does
Widgets is a client-side HUD mod that shows FPS, ping, coordinates, the clock and date, memory use, and CPU and GPU information. Each readout is a separate widget that can be moved to any spot on the screen, switched on or off, and restyled from the in-game configuration menu. Players can stack several widgets together, and FPS and ping widgets change color with their values, so a high frame rate and a low latency read at a glance.
Text can be rewritten with placeholders for each value, and Minecraft color codes are supported in those templates. A semi-transparent background can be enabled behind any widget for readability on busy scenes. The mod is built to add little load to the game, and it needs no server installation, since only the player's client runs it. Cloth Config API must be present, and Fabric Language Kotlin is required as well. Mod Menu is optional and opens the configuration screen from the mod list.
The mod is published for Fabric only, across 13 release versions. Its latest file is 1.0.5-mc1.21 for 1.21.5, released 2025-04-15. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Multiple readouts
FPS, ping, coordinates, time, date, memory, CPU and GPU usage can each run as their own widget on screen.
Free placement
Widgets can be dragged to any position, or snapped to one of the four screen corners from the configuration screen.
Color-coded values
FPS and ping widgets change color according to their value, for example green when the frame rate is high and red when it is low.
Customizable text
Each widget's text can be rewritten with placeholders, and Minecraft color codes can style the output.
Background toggle
A semi-transparent backdrop can be switched on for any widget to keep its text legible over a busy scene.
