## 1.2.5
- Added**
- An **Order** tab in the settings: arrange the HUD lines in any order you like.
- Changed**
- NeoForge and Fabric have separate jars again
- The GPU line now shows only the card's name. Driver, chip, compiler,
- Biome and Dimension show readable names instead of ids:
Biome: Dark Forestrather thanminecraft:dark_forest. - Biomes and dimensions from mods keep the mod's namespace in brackets.
- Performance**
- The HUD costs about a fifth of what it did: measured with every line on, about 0.27 ms per frame before, about 0.055 ms now.

by nikenmar on Oct 14, 2026
Download
## 1.2.1
- New**
- "All Nearby" option for the Dropped Items line (Details tab, off by default). The line then shows seen / total, like vanilla's entity counter:
Dropped Items: 12/340 (3/45 stacks). - Singleplayer: the total counts every dropped item within your render distance.
- Multiplayer: the total counts the items the server sends you, so it is limited by the servers entity tracking range, not your render distance.
- It is a single number with no positions or directions. The first number is still only the items you can actually see.
- Changed**
- Forge support removed. Changed my mind on supporting it
