Windcharge Height Counter
by Sonionring
Windcharge Height Counter shows, on the HUD, how high the player is above the closest solid block directly below, updating right after a wind charge boost.
What it does
The counter reads the block directly beneath the player and displays the distance to it. Standing on a block shows 0, and after a wind charge launch or jump the value climbs as the player rises, so the height above the ground is visible at once. The check uses the world Y level as its reference, so counts can also be taken from bedrock, the level of the sea, or the base of the world.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It depends on YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) for its settings screen, and Mod Menu can open that screen from the mods list. Files are published for Fabric only, across 12 game versions, with the 1.21.X build covering 1.21.11 and later. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Height above the ground
A HUD counter displays the distance from the player to the closest solid block directly below.

The height updates as soon as a wind charge boost, jump or launch moves the player.
Adjustable HUD appearance
The panel's translucency, its backdrop, the text tint, and a rainbow or gradient color cycle can each be changed.
Label, rounding and suffix
The label text, rounding mode, decimal places and the show or hide suffix are all configurable.
Movable counter
A drag position editor lets the player place the counter anywhere on screen.

Use cases
Wind charge jumps
A player using wind charges to climb or cross gaps can read the exact height gained in each boost.
Measuring from fixed levels
Counts relative to bedrock or sea level help when a build or path must reach a set depth or height.
Who it’s for: Players who use wind charges for movement on Fabric and want an on-screen height readout. Players on servers that do not run the mod need nothing extra.
How it compares
Belike's Pearl & Windcharge counter is also Fabric and client-side only, but it is published for 1.21.11 alone and is not open source. ItemSize is Fabric and client-side only with files for 1.21.10 – 26.2, under All rights reserved. Node's CPS Counter is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21.11 only, so it is a different kind of counter rather than a height readout.
