๐Ÿš€ New in Version 2.1.0+ (The Framework Update)

  • ๐Ÿ—๏ธ 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.
  • ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ 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.
  • ๐Ÿ“ Global Scaling: Added a userScale option in the config (0.1x to 2.0x) to perfectly fit any screen resolution.
  • ๐Ÿ“ Improved Spacing: New default X/Y offsets of 8 for a professional, "less cramped" appearance.
  • ๐ŸŒ Full Localization: Complete translation support for German (de_de) and English (en_us) for all menus and keybindings.
  • ๐Ÿ”Œ Expanded Mod Support: Native real-time tracking for Thaumcraft, Botania, Blood Magic, and Astral Sorcery.

โœจ Key Features

๐ŸŽจ 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.

๐Ÿ“Š 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).

๐ŸŽฎ 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.
