Better HUD Widgets

HUD_BW 4.2.0 - Changelog

Forge 1.20.1 and Fabric 1.20.1

New widgets (hidden by default, enable them in the editor)

• Air: remaining air in seconds. Text, number, icon + number or bar mode. Visibility: always, or only while the value is changing.
• XP: experience level. The bar mode also shows progress to the next level.
• Armor Toughness: now a separate widget. Armor Points shows armor only, and both have an icon + number mode. If your old layout had Armor Points visible, Toughness turns on right below it.
• Temperature: ambient temperature, calculated only from vanilla data (biome temperature, cooling with altitude). White in the comfortable range, blue when cold, orange to red when hot. °C or °F.

Food and Saturation

• Eating preview: holding food shows a blinking "+N" for hunger and saturation gain. In bar mode it also draws a blinking ghost segment. It works without AppleSkin.
• Saturation now has 4 modes: text, number, icon + number and bar, using a gold-tinted vanilla drumstick.

Widget styling

• New Frame option on every widget: none, four L-shaped corners, or a full border. Color and size are adjustable.
• Visibility "only when changing" for all stat widgets.
• Durability at 100% is now shown as a green ✓ (armor widgets, Armor Hotbar, Held Item).

Vanilla HUD hiding

• Each widget's settings have "Hide vanilla: …" checkboxes for what it replaces (hearts, hunger, armor, air, XP, effects, item name).
• New Style → Vanilla HUD window with 13 toggles: hearts, armor, hunger, air, mount health, XP, jump bar, hotbar, item name, effect icons, crosshair, scoreboard, boss bars.

Editor

• Hovering a widget zooms it smoothly and draws it above all others. While dragging, it stays at its final size.
• New Style → Preview autofill: an empty widget being dragged shows sample content (armor, potion effects, held item, eating preview).
• Removed the bottom hint bar.

Fixes

• Widget name labels no longer show through the settings menus.
• Frames no longer hide under the widget background.
• Old configs still load; new options use defaults.
