DynamicHUD for Minecraft Fabric

DynamicHUD is a library for mod creators using Fabric (Minecraft 1.19.4+). It lets developers create customizable HUD elements that players can modify and interact with, making visuals and gameplay more interesting. It is an API for developers.

Features

• Automatic Loading & Saving: Widgets automatically save their state and reload upon game restart, providing a seamless experience for players.
• Dynamic Values: Widgets can display real-time information, adapting to in-game events and data changes.
• Inbuilt Widgets: Start with TextWidget for easy text display and expand with more specialized widgets.
• Utility Classes: Utilize DrawHelper, ColorHelper, and TextureHelper for efficient and streamlined development.
• ContextMenu: A general context menu featuring boolean, slider, runnable, color options, and list/enum selections for widget customization.
• Screen Border Control: Keeps widgets within screen boundaries.
• Snapping: Hold Shift to snap widgets to an imaginary grid.
• Multi-Mod Support: Built for compatibility across mods.
• Easy Integration: Simple setup for quick implementation into your projects.
• Comprehensive Wiki: A detailed guide and reference for all features of DynamicHUD, available at https://tanishisherewith.gitbook.io/dynamic-hud.

DynamicHUD has a dedicated settings button when you open the option screen beside the 'FOV' slider which you can use to customise your widgets and menus.

Keybinds

Currently these keybinds are unmodifiable. These keybinds are only available version 4.0.0 onwards.

1. Grouping and multi-selection

Keyboard shortcuts

• Drag selection window: Click and drag on empty space to draw a selection window. Any widget that overlaps this area will be selected.
• CTRL + Left Click multi-selection: Hold CTRL and left click on individual widgets to toggle their selection state.
• Group or ungroup toggle: Press CTRL + G to group the selected widgets. Press CTRL + G again to ungroup them.

Notes

• Dragging any widget in a group moves all unlocked widgets in that group.
• Locked widgets with isLocked set to true do not move with the group.
• Hovering a group shows a dashed green bounding box around all grouped widgets.

2. Scaling widgets

Widgets can be scaled individually in the editor in two ways:

• Scaling keybind: Hover a widget and use CTRL + Mouse Wheel Scroll to increase or decrease its local scale.
• Scale dot: Selected widgets render a small scale dot in the bottom-right corner. Drag that dot to scale the widget.

Disclaimer

DynamicHUD provides tools for developers but does not add HUD elements by itself.

Users looking for in-game HUD elements should refer to mods that use DynamicHUD like

• Simple CPS

Fabric only — no plans for Forge support.
