MiniHUD

MiniHUD is a client-side mod that adds various information lines to the screen, resembling a simplified version of F3. Additionally, it includes numerous visual overlays: light level display, slime chunks, world spawn chunks, structure boundaries, region file boundaries, as well as various shapes - circles and spheres.

Important: MiniHUD should not be installed on the server. It doesn't do anything there. For the server side, use the Servux mod.

Dependencies

MiniHUD requires the MaLiLib library to function, as the mod uses its configuration system, settings menus, and hotkey system. There are no other mandatory dependencies.

Default Hotkeys

• The main display toggle key is H (disables ALL elements: information lines and overlays)
• The in-game settings menu key is H + C

Display Features

Structure Boundaries

The structure boundaries overlay works in single player and on servers with the Servux mod installed. Servux is required on the server side to transmit actual structure boundary data from the world upon MiniHUD's request. The mod does not attempt to simulate or guess data based on the world seed, as this is unreliable and doesn't account for changes in world generation between Minecraft updates.

Slime Chunks

A common question concerns the height display of slime chunks. It's important to understand: the overlay does not show the height range for slime spawning! It only indicates which chunks are slime chunks.

By default, the top boundary of the overlay is set at the player's position when enabled. In older mod versions, this only worked when toggling via hotkey, not through the settings menu.

You can adjust the top position of the overlay by holding the toggle key and scrolling the mouse wheel.

Multiplayer Usage

If you're playing on a server and want to use the slime chunk overlay, knowing the world seed, type a chat message in the format minihud-seed 12345. MiniHUD will automatically extract the seed from the message, and it won't be sent.

In newer versions, you can add a slash before the command (/minihud-seed 12345) to prevent accidental sending to chat. However, if you make a typo, the invalid command may appear in the server console.

Sphere Issues

Currently, the sphere display is malfunctioning after the mod update for Minecraft 1.18, where shape generation was rewritten. The sphere appears slightly skewed, at least on one side.

As a temporary solution, you can use the Adjustable Spawn Sphere shape, which uses different generation code. However, this sphere is not perfectly symmetrical horizontally and vertically due to boundary condition specifics.

Old Versions

Information about very old mod versions (for MC 1.12.2 and older) is currently available on the project page on CurseForge. This doesn't mean all versions for 1.12.2 are outdated - main development still continues for this Minecraft version.

Versions older than 0.11.0-0.13.1 used outdated configuration systems. Modern architecture and improvements appeared with the start of development for LiteLoader versions and especially with the transition to using malilib.

Change Logs

Change logs for older mod versions will be added gradually.
