Dynamic HUD

Dynamic HUD changes how the vanilla HUD behaves. Instead of staying fixed on screen at all times, elements like the hotbar, health, food, armor, air, and experience bar slide out of view when you're idle and slide back in the moment you do something that matters.

How it works

The mod tracks player activity every tick. Switching items, taking damage, entering combat, using an item, sneaking, or opening a screen all count as interaction. When no interaction happens for a set amount of time, the tracked HUD elements animate out. As soon as something happens again, they animate back in.

Features

Individual triggers can be turned on or off:

Item switching
Item use
Combat (attacking or getting hit)
Taking damage
Not being at full health
Sneaking
Having a screen open

Individual HUD elements can also be toggled so only the ones you want are affected:

Hotbar
Health
Food
Armor
Air
Experience level
Contextual info bar (and its background)
Vehicle health

Animation speed, hide delay, and slide distance are all configurable, so the behavior can be tuned to feel instant or gradual depending on preference.

Configuration

All options live in the mod's config file and can be edited without any external tools. Nothing needs to be set up in game, the mod works with sensible defaults right after installing it.
