Better F3 Reborn

A modern, feature-rich debug HUD overhaul for Minecraft 1.12.2 – bringing Better F3's clean design to the golden age of modding!

Better F3 Reborn is a faithful reconstruction of the modern debug experience, specifically optimized for the 1.12.2 modding community. It replaces the cluttered vanilla F3 screen with organized, color-coded modules and a high-performance framework.

🚀 New in Version 2.1.0+ (The Framework Update)

  • 🏗️ Architectural Overhaul: The mod has been rewritten from a monolithic renderer into a modular framework. This ensures better performance, stability, and easier integration for other mods.
  • 🖥️ Optimized System Info: Drastically cleaned up GPU strings. Long, cluttered information (especially on Linux/Mesa drivers and Ryzen APUs) is now intelligently shortened for a clean look.
  • 📏 Global Scaling: Added a userScale option in the config (0.1x to 2.0x) to perfectly fit any screen resolution.
  • 📐 Improved Spacing: New default X/Y offsets of 8 for a professional, "less cramped" appearance.
  • 🌍 Full Localization: Complete translation support for German (de_de) and English (en_us) for all menus and keybindings.
  • 🔌 Expanded Mod Support: Native real-time tracking for Thaumcraft, Botania, Blood Magic, and Astral Sorcery.

✨ Key Features

🎨 Clean Two-Column Layout

  • Left Side: Game information (coordinates, world data, entities).
  • Right Side: System information (Java, CPU, GPU, memory).
  • Smooth slide-in animations from both sides for a modern feel.

📊 Performance Graph

  • Real-time FPS tracking with a high-precision visual curve.
  • Color-coded performance indicators (Green: 60+, Yellow: 30-60, Red: <30).
  • Detailed Min/Avg/Max statistics.
  • Toggle with F3 + X or F3 + G (Locks the HUD open for monitoring).

🎮 Information Modules

  • Coordinates: Block position, XYZ, Chunk coordinates, Slime chunks.
  • World Info: Facing direction, light levels, biome colors, days played, and weather.
  • System Info: Java version, RAM usage, CPU/GPU details, and OpenGL version.
  • Targeted Block: Detailed technical info about the block you are looking at.
  • Server Metrics: Integrated TPS and MSPT (Milliseconds Per Tick) tracking.
  • ⌨️ Native Keybinds

All F3-shortcuts are now registered as native Minecraft keybindings. You can rebind every toggle (Coordinates, FPS, System, Magic Modules, etc.) in the standard Controls menu!


⚙️ Configuration

Edit config/betterf3reborn.cfg or use the in-game config menu to:

  • Enable/disable every single module.
  • Customize all colors via RGB Hex format.
  • Adjust Scale, Offsets, and Animation Speed.
  • Change background transparency (backgroundAlpha).

📥 Installation

  1. Requirement: Minecraft Forge 1.12.2 (Recommended: 14.23.5.2859).

  2. Place the .jar file in your mods folder.

  3. Note: It is highly recommended to delete your old betterf3reborn.cfg to apply the new optimized defaults.
