Eymistaken's HUD
For players
Everything is drawn client-side, placed exactly where you want it, and stored in a single config file you can share as a string of text. Press Right Shift in game to start. Looking for a specific setting, its default or its range? That is the Full Guide.
01
Press Right Shift from anywhere in game to open the editor. Everything you see is the real HUD, live. Modules snap to corners, edges or the center using a stacking algorithm, and when one lines up with another a magenta guide appears and it glides smoothly into place rather than jumping.
Full reference: The HUD editor in the Full Guide.
02
Select two or more modules and a toolbar appears at the top of the screen. Hover any button to see what it does.
Full reference: Align and distribute in the Full Guide.
04
Seven modules ship with the mod. Each one carries its own color, scale, rainbow mode, background color and opacity, custom label text and anchor.
Tracker
Counts clicks in the last 1 second window and displays left and right independently. A configurable separator plus free-text prefixes and suffixes let you render 12 | 4, CPS: 12, or anything else you like. Supports rainbow mode and a background.
Featured
A fully custom keystroke display, not a fixed WASD block. Eleven designs, per-key colors, bold / italic / underline labels, press animations you stack rather than pick between, and a CPS counter on any key including the mouse buttons. Built in the Keystrokes Designer.
Combat
A hit-streak counter that counts hits once the server confirms them, and shows a combo landed on you as a negative line. A new tier or a kill freezes the counter for an instant, and beating your saved best combo plays a short BEST moment. Color it Static, Rainbow or Heatmap, with three preset difficulties or your own tiers; write the readout with {combo} and {best}, switch the count to Big, and put a timeout bar or your last hits under it. You choose whether the combo breaks on any damage taken, whether it survives switching targets, and how long it lingers before timing out.
| Mode | Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 (shake) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 3 hits | 5 hits | 7 hits |
| Medium (default) | 5 hits | 8 hits | 12 hits |
| Hard | 10 hits | 40 hits | 60 hits |
| Custom | Your own (default 5) | Your own (default 8) | Your own (default 12) |
With Hit Detection on Server, the default, only hits the server confirms are counted. Classic mode counts every one of those; Modern counts only full-strength hits, respecting the 1.9+ attack cooldown so spam clicking does not inflate your streak.
Combat
The exact distance in blocks of your last successful melee attack, calculated at the moment of the hit and shown to 2 decimal places. Configurable timeout, optional players-only filter, and an always-show mode with a custom no-hit-yet label instead of disappearing.
Equipment
All 4 armor slots plus main hand and off hand, as item icons with durability bars. Vertical or horizontal orientation, scalable 50–300%, hotbar-style slot backgrounds, exact durability numbers, and a red flash when a slot takes damage. Slots can be ungrouped and placed individually.
Performance
Frames per second, updated every tick. Custom suffix text, color, scale, rainbow mode and background — for when you want the number without opening F3.
Network
Server latency in milliseconds, read from your own player-list entry — the same value the tab list shows, refreshed whenever the server sends a latency update, roughly once a second on a vanilla server. Custom color, scale and background.

05
A fully interactive precision designer that lets you completely reimagine how your keystrokes look — no external tools needed. Add any key or mouse button, resize it, drag its label independently, recolor individual keys, pick from eleven designs, and stack as many press animations as you want on top of any of them.
Pixel-perfect snapping, context menus, drag-and-drop and unlimited undo / redo.
Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Y to redo. History covers the design, animation and colors as well as the keys, so one undo puts the whole look back.Full reference: The Designer, control by control in the Full Guide.
07
A purpose-built settings screen — one page per module, split into tabs, with a search box that finds any setting by name, per-row descriptions and defaults, and a one-click reset on anything you have changed.
It holds a single readable size at any Minecraft GUI Scale, and you can nudge that baseline from 50% to 200%.
Open it from Mod Menu, from Options → Mods → Eymistaken's HUD → Settings, or by right-clicking empty space in the HUD Editor and choosing Settings.
Full reference: The settings screen in detail in the Full Guide.
08
Three ways to keep more than one HUD layout around — all reachable by right-clicking empty space in the HUD Editor.
Save Config takes a snapshot of your entire HUD — every module's position, scale, colors and settings — stored as plain JSON in simplecps_presets/, so you can switch between named layouts instantly. Hover Configs to see the list.
Export Code packs your whole setup into a single line of text starting with EYMHUD1- and copies it to your clipboard — paste it into Discord, a forum post, wherever. Import Code reads one back off your clipboard. The Keystrokes Designer has its own EXPORT and IMPORT for the keystrokes module on its own — the key layout together with the design, animation and palette it was drawn with, without the rest of your HUD. Where it goes on your screen is left out on purpose: that corner is yours, not the sender's.
Ctrl+Z in the designer insteadA different HUD per server, with nothing to press. While this is switched on, whatever your HUD looks like on a server is quietly remembered for it — join again and it comes back. Single-player worlds share one profile.
Whenever a server config replaces what is on screen, the previous setup is written to a config named Auto Backup. It is a single rolling slot, so only the most recent one is kept.
Full reference: Presets, server configs and share codes in the Full Guide.
09
Found under Settings → General. Both options apply to every module at once.
Five bundled fonts alongside the default:
Draws a thin black outline on every side of your HUD text instead of the vanilla drop shadow. Much easier to read against bright terrain like snow or sand.
Only the HUD. Your font choice never touches chat, inventories or any other Minecraft menu — just the HUD modules and this mod's own screens.
Stuck on the Enchanting Table font? It is unreadable by design, so the HUD Editor shows a Restore Font button in the bottom-right corner whenever it is active. One click puts you back on Vanilla.
Still improving fonts. They are not perfect yet. Sorry.
