Auto Hide Hotbar Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the mod after installing it?
Open your in-game settings screen (accessible from the pause menu or main menu) to find the Auto Hide Hotbar configuration options. The mod is active by default once installed, but you can adjust all fade and visibility settings from this menu.
Why is my hotbar still showing even when I'm not doing anything?
Check your fade delay setting in the mod's configuration screen—it may be set too high, meaning the interface waits longer before hiding. You can lower the delay so the hotbar disappears faster during idle periods.
Can I make the health bar only appear when I'm low on health?
Yes, enable the custom threshold feature in the settings and set your preferred health percentage—the bar will then only display when your health drops below that level.
Does the mod work with other HUD mods?
Auto Hide Hotbar generally works alongside other HUD mods, but conflicts can occur if multiple mods try to control the same interface elements; test your mod combination and adjust opacity or fade settings if elements overlap or behave unexpectedly.
How do I stop item name tooltips from popping up when I switch items?
Open the mod settings and find the option to hide item name tooltips, then enable it—this will prevent the item description box from appearing when you swap gear in your hotbar.
Will my stats stay visible if I open my inventory?
Yes, the mod is designed to keep player stats (health, hunger, armor, experience) visible whenever your inventory menu is open, so you can always monitor your condition while managing items.
What makes the interface reappear after it fades?
The HUD comes back when you take damage, eat food, swap items in your hotbar, use abilities, or when stat values change; you can also manually reveal it by opening your inventory or checking your status effects.
Can I set different fade speeds for different HUD elements?
The mod allows you to adjust the overall fade delay and opacity through its settings menu, though individual elements typically fade together; you can customize which elements hide or stay visible based on your preferences.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Auto Hide Hotbar is lightweight and designed to have minimal performance impact; if you experience issues, try adjusting the fade delay or opacity settings, or check for conflicts with other mods affecting the HUD.
How do I get my mount's jump meter to show when I'm riding?
The mod hides mount jump and dash meters by default until you actually charge up a leap; start charging your jump on your mount and the meter will appear automatically.
