About this project
What does Better Potions HUD add?
Better Potions HUD
Better Potions HUD restores clear, vanilla-style potion effect information on the in-game HUD.
It shows potion timers and amplifier levels directly on the top-right effect icons, while keeping the look and placement close to vanilla Minecraft.
Features
- Shows effect duration directly on HUD icons
- Shows amplifier levels on HUD icons
- Keeps a vanilla-style font size, color, and position
- Supports very high amplifiers instead of showing
** - Option to display amplifiers as Roman numerals or normal numbers
- Option to replace the vanilla
**amplifier display - Shows effects with hidden particles enabled
Ex: /effect give @s minecraft:strength infinite 255 true
Wouldn't show potion hud in top right normally because it has hidden particles set to true
- Configurable amplifier and timer text colors
- Reset buttons for default colors
- Mod Menu and YACL config screen
- Config saves after restarting the game
