About this project

What does Compact F3 Plus add?

Compact F3 Plus

A minimal, fully customizable HUD overlay for NeoForge and Fabric that replaces the vanilla F3 debug screen with a clean, readable interface.

Modes

  • Replace F3 (default): F3 opens the compact HUD instead of the vanilla debug screen.
  • Standalone: Keep vanilla F3 intact and toggle the HUD separately via F8 (rebindable in Controls).

HUD Elements

  • FPS - current and average, with dynamic color indicators based on thresholds
  • RAM usage
  • Lag meter - stutter rate monitor for diagnosing frame drops
  • Server TPS
  • XYZ coordinates
  • Network ping
  • Facing direction: cardinal + pitch
  • Biome and dimension
  • Block and sky light levels
  • Session timer
  • In-game time and day counter
  • Slime chunk indicator
  • Horizontal and vertical movement speed
  • Item durability
  • Currently playing music track
  • Rendered entity count
  • Crop growth progress
  • Targeted block, fluid, and entity
  • Blockstate properties of the targeted block

Configuration

Every element can be individually toggled. The HUD can be anchored to any screen corner with adjustable X and Y offsets. Settings are saved to config/compactf3plus.json and accessible via Mod Menu (Fabric) or the NeoForge mod list.
