Entity Counter

A lightweight, client-side HUD that counts nearby entities by type in real time — fully customizable and multiplayer-safe

Ever wondered exactly how many zombies there are nearby how many cows are on your farm, or how much your automatic farm is producing? Entity Counter keeps a live, always-updating tally right on your screen, broken down by entity type — no commands, no guessing, no counting on your fingers.

Features

Live entity counts — see exactly how many of each entity type (mobs, players, dropped items, and more) are currently around you, updated automatically.
Fully customizable HUD
- Drag it anywhere on screen — not locked to fixed corners.
- Choose from multiple color themes (Teal, Ocean, Sunset, Grape, Monochrome).
- Adjust background opacity and corner roundness to match your style.
Powerful filtering — a searchable list lets you toggle exactly which entity types show up, so your HUD only shows what you actually care about.
Rebindable keybind — the settings menu opens with a single key (default K), and can be rebound to anything through Minecraft's normal Controls menu.
Performance-friendly by design — entity scanning runs on a throttled tick loop, completely decoupled from rendering, so the HUD costs virtually nothing even at high framerates.

Multiplayer & Server Safety

Entity Counter is 100% client-side. It only reads data your client has already received from the server (the same data used to render mobs, players, and items on your screen) — it never sends extra packets, never queries the server for anything, and never reveals information beyond a normal vanilla client's view distance and tracking range.

In short: it's safe to use on any server, vanilla or modded, without risk of detection as anything other than a standard Fabric client mod.

How to Use

Install Fabric API alongside this mod (required dependency).
Launch the game — the HUD appears automatically in the top-left corner by default.
Press K in-game to open the settings menu, where you can:
- Search and toggle individual entity types on/off
- Drag the HUD to any position on screen
- Customize the HUD's theme, opacity, and corner roundness
- Rebind the menu key

Requirements

Minecraft 1.21
Fabric Loader
Fabric API (required)

Notes for Server Admins

Some servers restrict "radar" or "x-ray adjacent" mods as a matter of fairness policy, even when a mod is technically compliant. Entity Counter uses no server data beyond what's normally visible to a vanilla client, so it's easy to verify — feel free to check the source and judge whether it fits your server's rules.
