Hud Keys
Hud Keys is a lightweight "Quality of Life" client-side mod for Minecraft Fabric. It displays the keybind associated with each hotbar slot directly on the HUD, making it easier to track your controls and input.
👋 A Note from the Developer
This is my very first Minecraft mod! 🚀 I created this project to learn how to make mods and to solve a simple problem I had: wanting to see my hotbar keybinds clearly without cluttering the screen. Since I am just starting out, I would love to hear your feedback or suggestions. Thank you for checking it out!
✨ Features
Smart Overlays: Automatically reads your keybinds. If you bind Slot 1 to "Q", the HUD will show "Q".
Visual Feedback: The background of the key darkens and simulates a "click" animation when you press the button, giving you instant response.
Clean Design: Uses a minimalist style with rounded corners and outlined text, ensuring it is readable on top of any item (even bright ones like Gold Ingots).
Unobtrusive: The indicators are tucked into the corner of the slot so they never hide your items or durability bars.
Performance: Extremely lightweight and optimized to have zero impact on your FPS.
