Huddable

Rearrange the vanilla Minecraft HUD in game. Drag health, hunger, the hotbar, the scoreboard and the rest where you want them, make them bigger or smaller, hide what you don't need, and give the status bars a cleaner look. Other mods' HUD elements can be placed the same way. No resource packs or datapacks needed. Client-side, works on any server.

Requires Fabric API. Huddable's screens open from Mod Menu's Configure button; without Mod Menu a saved layout still applies, but you can't edit it.

Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3 (one jar per version).

Open Mod Menu, find Huddable and press Configure. It has two buttons:

• HUD Designer: the layout editor below, for moving, styling and choosing fonts, saved per profile.
• General Settings: settings for the whole game rather than one profile (see below).

In a world the live HUD shows through the editor; on the title screen each element is drawn as a labelled box.

The editor's buttons are in a small window on the left edge. Drag its title strip to move it out of the way of whatever you're placing; it stays where you left it until the game closes.

• Elements: a list of every HUD element, other mods' included. Click one to hide or show it (hidden ones are struck through), or press Show all.

• Size: how the whole HUD's size follows your screen, per profile (the same three modes as Skyblock Shopping List):

  • GUI (default): follows Minecraft's GUI Scale, like vanilla.
  • Window: grows and shrinks with the window height.
  • Fixed: the same size on screen at any GUI Scale.

  With Window and Fixed, positions move with the size too, so the layout keeps its shape when the window or GUI Scale changes. Switching mode in the editor keeps elements where they are and only changes their size.

• Font: the profile's font, picked from every font your resource packs provide (each shown in itself). Every element that draws text uses it unless you give that element its own (see Fonts below).

• Frame: the profile's frame, drawn around every element unless you give that element its own or None (see Frames below).

• Screens: which resource pack's art the inventory, chests and other container screens use (see Container screens below).

• Move: drag an element. It snaps to the screen edges and centre and to other elements' edges and centres (cyan guide lines); hold Shift to place it freely.

• Scale: drag one of an element's gold corner handles (25% to 400%). The element keeps its shape.

• Resize: drag one of the white grips in the middle of an edge to change the width or height; the opposite edge stays put. Only elements that can lay themselves out to a new size have grips: chat (this sets vanilla's chat width and height options, and Cancel puts them back), Bar-style status bars, and other mods' elements that support it.

• Options: right-click an element for its panel:

  • Hide or show it.
  • Scale with - and +.
  • Style (health, hunger, armor and air only): Vanilla, Bar, Number or Icon + number.
  • Colour (for the non-vanilla styles).
  • Bar width, height and text (Bar style).
  • Font, for elements that draw text: Profile (the profile's font), Vanilla, or any pack font.
  • Frame: Profile (the profile's frame), None, or any frame from the list.
  • Reset element.

• Done saves, Cancel or Esc drops your changes.

Elements: hotbar, health, armor, hunger, air, mount health, experience bar, experience level, held item name, effects, boss bar, scoreboard, action bar, title, tab list, crosshair, subtitles, toasts, and chat. Moved or scaled chat stays where you put it when you open it (T), and clicking links and hovering messages work there; the input box stays at the bottom of the screen.

Elements other mods add through Fabric API's HUD registry are found when the game starts and listed under their mod's name (for example Some Mod: info_panel). Move, scale or hide them like vanilla ones. Huddable measures each one from what it draws; one that isn't drawing anything right now shows as a small "(not showing)" box until it appears. Mods can also register their elements with Huddable directly (see below), which lets them resize too. Positions are kept in the profile even if you remove the mod.

Toasts (the pop-ups in the top-right corner) move, scale and hide as one element. With Fancy Notify installed, its notifications move with them: the box starts at the corner set in Fancy Notify's options, and Huddable moves it from there. Hiding toasts also pauses Fancy Notify's notifications until you show them again.

meowdding overlays (SkyCubed, SkyOcean and other mods built on meowdding-lib) are listed one by one under their mod's name, for example SkyCubed: Health, and move, scale and hide like the rest. Their box is the one meowdding's own overlay editor highlights. meowdding's own editor (dragging overlays with chat open) still works, but its highlight and clicks stay where meowdding places the overlay, so pick one editor per overlay. SkyCubed's Moveable Hotbar and Moveable Item Text aren't listed: SkyCubed draws those on the vanilla hotbar, which Huddable already places. Overlays switched off in their own mod aren't listed; switch them on there and they come back with their saved position. Turn this off under General Settings, Advanced.

Other mods that draw their HUD some other way can't be moved until they support Huddable.

Huddable doesn't ship fonts: it uses the ones your resource packs add (assets/<namespace>/font/<name>.json), the same list other mods' font options show. Pick one for the whole profile with the toolbar's Font button, or per element in its options; an element set to Vanilla keeps Minecraft's font even when the profile has another.

Elements with fonts: hotbar (item counts), experience level, held item name, boss bar, scoreboard, action bar, title, tab list, subtitles, chat, toasts, and health, hunger, armor and air in the Bar and Number styles. Text that a server or mod draws in a font of its own (icons, for example) keeps it, and characters the chosen font doesn't have fall back to vanilla's. Backgrounds such as the scoreboard's and the tab list's fit the new font. If a profile's font comes from a pack you've turned off, those elements draw in vanilla's font until it's back, and share codes keep the font for players who have the pack.

Chat in a new font re-wraps its lines to fit. Toasts drawn by another mod (Fancy Notify, for example) keep that mod's font; vanilla's toasts change.

A frame is Minecraft's own tooltip, popup or button art drawn around an element, so a resource pack that decorates those (corner pieces, patterned edges) decorates your HUD too. The list has each kind from the top pack (what the rest of the game shows), then from every enabled pack that has its own art, for example "Tooltip (Faithful 64x)". To use one pack's frame without its other textures, enable it and move it to the bottom of the pack list. Pick a frame for the whole profile with the toolbar's Frame button, or per element in its options; an element set to None has no frame even when the profile has one.

Frames follow what each element draws: a boss bar, title or other mod's layer that isn't showing has no frame, and one that grows (the scoreboard, a mod's list) has its frame grow with it, checked four times a second for framed elements only. Frame art is drawn at screen size, so frames match across elements of any scale. Closed chat is framed around the messages showing, so its frame goes when they fade; the open chat (T) has none. Toasts and the crosshair have no frame; full-screen mod layers get none either. If a frame's pack is turned off, the top pack's art is drawn until it's back, and share codes keep the choice for players who have the pack.

Shopping List's panels use a Huddable frame in place of their own when one is set for them (it keeps its own look otherwise). Other mods can do the same through the API (frameInset, drawFrame).

Each container screen (inventory, chest, furnace, anvil and the rest) is one picture with the slots painted in, and normally the top resource pack's picture is shown. The toolbar's Screens list picks another enabled pack's picture instead: All screens for every screen, then a row for each screen that more than one of your packs has art for, to give it its own choice (Profile follows All screens). Click a row for the next pack. For example, keep a texture pack on top but use Faithful's inventory. Open a screen after Done to see it.

• Server menus such as Hypixel's are chests, so they follow the Chest choice.
• Only the background picture changes. Small pieces drawn over it (the furnace's flame and arrow, the recipe book button) still come from the top pack.
• Art drawn by other mods (tabs and side panels around the inventory) isn't changed.
• A screen the chosen pack has no art for, or a pack you've turned off, shows the top pack's picture. Share codes keep the choice.

• Bar: a filled bar with the value written on it. Health shows absorption and hunger shows saturation as a thin strip along the top.
• Number: text such as 18/20.
• Icon + number: one vanilla icon and the number.

Hunger and air bars drain from the left like vanilla's icons. The styles appear only when vanilla would draw the bar (armor only with armor on, air only underwater or while it refills).

• Font quality (default Pack's own): how sharp TrueType fonts from resource packs are drawn, their "oversample". Pack's own uses what each pack sets, as vanilla does; a higher value is sharper at large GUI scales but uses more video memory. Players on the old 4x default were moved to Pack's own in 0.3.4. This applies to every TrueType font in the game, other mods' included, as Minecraft loads each font once for everyone. Changing it reloads the resource packs once when you leave the screen.
• Advanced, meowdding overlays (default on, only shown with meowdding-lib installed): list meowdding-lib's overlays as their own elements (see Other mods' HUD elements). Turned off, they go back to where meowdding puts them and leave the editor; their saved positions are kept for when you turn it on again.

Saved in config/huddable/settings.json, which also remembers the active profile.

The top button in the editor's window shows the active profile; click it to switch to the next one.

• New: an empty (vanilla) profile.
• Rename: type a name, then OK.
• Delete: press twice.
• Export: copies the layout to the clipboard as a code starting HUD1:.
• Import: reads a code from the clipboard into a new profile.
• Reset: puts every element, the Size mode, the profile font and frame, and the container screens back to vanilla.

Profile actions save your current edits first. Profiles are in config/huddable/profiles/.

• The locator bar's waypoint dots aren't part of Fabric's experience bar element, so they stay in place when the bar moves.
• Some element boxes in the editor (boss bar, tab list, title, subtitles) are typical sizes, as the real size depends on what's showing.
• Other mods that replace the same HUD elements may conflict; whichever wraps last decides.
• Other mods' elements are found once, when the game has started. One a mod adds later isn't listed.

Elements added with Fabric's HudElementRegistry need nothing: Huddable wraps them. To let Huddable place an element drawn some other way, or to let players resize one that lays itself out, register it through uk.toakan.tad.huddable.api.HuddableApi from a uk.toakan.tad.huddable.api.HuddablePlugin entrypoint. Huddable only loads that class when it is installed, so it can stay an optional dependency.

"entrypoints": {
	"huddable": ["com.example.compat.HuddableCompat"]
}

public final class HuddableCompat implements HuddablePlugin {
    static final Identifier PANEL = Identifier.fromNamespaceAndPath("example", "panel");

    @Override
    public void register() {
        // The unmoved box: position in GUI pixels, size in your own units before your own scale.
        HuddableApi.register(PANEL, Component.literal("Example panel"),
            HuddableApi.Spec.of((screenWidth, screenHeight) -> new HuddableApi.Box(10, 10, 120, 40))
                .withBaseScale(() -> MyHud.scale())  // optional: your own HUD scale
                .resizable(60, 20)                    // optional: edge grips, with a minimum size
                .listedWhen(() -> MyHud.enabled()));  // optional: left out of the editor while switched off
        // If the element is also a Fabric HUD layer, keep Huddable from wrapping that layer as well:
        // HuddableApi.ignoreLayer(MY_FABRIC_LAYER_ID);
    }
}

When drawing, either wrap your normal drawing so it lands where the player put it:

if (HuddableApi.push(graphics, PANEL)) {
    drawPanel(graphics);  // at the default box
    HuddableApi.pop(graphics);
}

or, for a resizable element, read HuddableApi.placement(PANEL) (top-left in GUI pixels, width and height in your units, the scale to draw at, and whether it's hidden) and lay it out to that. HuddableApi.openEditor(parent) opens the editor, for your own "Move HUD" button. Only the uk.toakan.tad.huddable.api package is meant for other mods.
