MiniHUD is a sophisticated client-side mod designed to enhance your Minecraft experience by providing a more informative and customizable heads-up display. It effectively acts as a 'mini F3' screen, offering essential game information without the clutter of the default debug screen. This mod addresses the need for readily accessible data such as light levels, the precise location of spawn chunks, and the identification of slime chunks, all presented in a user-friendly overlay format. By consolidating crucial information, MiniHUD allows players to make more informed decisions during gameplay, optimize their builds, and understand game mechanics more deeply, ultimately leading to a more efficient and enjoyable Minecraft adventure. The functionality of MiniHUD is achieved through a series of configurable overlay renderers and information lines that can be toggled on and off by the player. It meticulously displays data like the current light level at your player's feet, highlighting areas where hostile mobs can spawn, and clearly delineates spawn chunks, which are always loaded and active. The mod also offers the ability to visualize slime chunks, crucial for players looking to farm slimes efficiently. Furthermore, MiniHUD can render structure bounding boxes, region file boundaries, and even various geometric shapes like circles and spheres, providing a comprehensive visual aid for exploration, building, and understanding world generation. This utility mod is designed for broad compatibility across several popular mod loaders and Minecraft versions. It officially supports Fabric, Forge, LiteLoader, Ornithe, and Rift. The mod is compatible with Minecraft versions 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, as well as versions 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2. Crucially, MiniHUD is a client-side only mod and is required on the player's client to function; it is not supported on the server side and will not provide any benefits if installed there. This ensures that server performance is not impacted by the mod's rendering capabilities. Installing MiniHUD is a straightforward process, tailored to the specific mod loader you are using. For Fabric, Forge, LiteLoader, Ornithe, and Rift, the MiniHUD mod file should be placed directly into the 'mods' folder within your Minecraft installation directory. Before launching the game, it is essential to ensure that you have also installed the MaLiLib library mod, as MiniHUD relies on it for its configuration system, in-game menus, and hotkey management. Verifying the correct placement of both MiniHUD and MaLiLib in the mods folder will ensure the mod functions as intended upon game startup.
