XpOrbs HUD
XpOrbs HUD puts a small counter in the top-left corner that shows how many experience orbs are nearby and how much XP they hold.
What it does
The HUD counts the experience orbs within 16 blocks of the player and adds up their total XP value, so a player can tell whether a fight left anything worth collecting without scanning the ground. Only orbs in chunks that are already loaded are counted, and orbs in unloaded chunks are left out. Pressing X toggles the display off and on, and a chat message confirms the new state. The HUD also hides itself when F1 turns off the interface or when a GUI screen is open.
The mod runs on the client only, so the server does not need it and players can join a server without installing anything. It changes no game state. It requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric alone, for 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build, released under the MIT License. The project is not open source.
Key features
Nearby orb counter
A compact readout in the top-left corner lists the number of experience orbs within 16 blocks.
Total XP value
The HUD sums the experience each nearby orb would give, so the figure reflects the XP that can be collected.
Quick toggle
The X key switches the counter off and on, and a chat message confirms each change.
Automatic hiding
The counter disappears when the interface is hidden with F1 or while a GUI screen is open.

Use cases
Checking after a fight
Orbs that scatter onto cliffs or into tall grass can be missed. The counter shows whether any remain nearby.
Reading orb status at a glance
A dimmed badge appears when no orbs are nearby, so the player can see the state without reading numbers.
Who it’s for: Players who often lose experience orbs in terrain or grass after mob fights, and players who want an indicator that does not change gameplay on the server.
How it compares

Info HUD is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.7 – 1.21.10 and is open source under the MIT License, so it covers older builds. Coordinate HUD : DemirİnfoHud is another Fabric client-side option for 1.21.11 under the MIT License.

What the author says
XpOrbs HUD is a one-line indicator that tells you whether there are still experience orbs in the area worth picking up. Vanilla Minecraft only shows orbs visually — and they often fly off behind blocks, drop down a cliff, or scatter into tall grass after a mob fight. By the time the XP-bar flash settles down you have…
