Quick Widgets

38 HUD widgets you can switch on, drag anywhere, resize and restyle — without touching a config file.

Press Right Shift, click a switch, and it's on your screen. Press Edit Layout and drag it wherever you like. That's the whole learning curve.

Quick Widgets is client-side only, uses no mixins, and runs on 1.20.1, 1.21.11, 26.1 and 26.2 from one codebase.

• Moon Phase — with a drawn moon
• Slime Chunk — whether slimes can spawn where you're standing

PvP / Combat

• CPS Counter — left and right clicks per second
• Reach Display — distance to the last entity you hit
• Combo Counter — hits landed without being hit back
• Hit Detection — flashes whether your swing connected
• Keystrokes — WASD and mouse buttons, with a Badlion-style press animation
• Sprint / Sneak Indicator — including whether they're set to toggle

Server

• Server IP — with an option to censor it for streaming
• Player Count — online out of the maximum
• Server Name / MOTD

Misc

• Stopwatch — start, stop and reset on a keybind
• Inventory Alerts — warns you before you run out of room
• Item Counter — track arrows, pearls, blocks, anything
• Pack Display — which resource packs are loaded
• Screenshot Indicator — confirms the shot was saved
• Direction Compass — a compass strip across the top of the screen

On by default: FPS Counter, Ping, Coordinates and In-Game Time. Ping hides itself in singleplayer, so it costs nothing.

Getting started

1. Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API.
2. Drop Quick Widgets in your mods folder.
3. Launch, then press Right Shift.
4. Turn on what you want, then hit Edit Layout and drag it into place.

There's a How to use page in the settings screen if you'd rather read it in-game. The mod also says hello once in chat when you join, naming the key you have bound.

Keybinds live under Options → Controls → Quick Widgets, where you can rebind the settings key and set optional keys for the stopwatch and for hiding the overlay.

Compatibility

Minecraft	Loader	Requires
1.20.1	Fabric	Fabric API
1.21.11	Fabric	Fabric API
26.1	Fabric	Fabric API
26.2	Fabric	Fabric API

No mixins. Quick Widgets patches nothing — every widget gets what it needs from public client API. That makes it unusually well-behaved in a large modpack, and it's why one codebase covers both an obfuscated 1.20.1 and an unobfuscated 26.2.
